{Spiritmare}
You know about the curly brackets, right?  If you put them around cardnames then 🏆

Considering there IS no card named "Spiritmare", I'd say your friend wins 'cause you're cheating. 😜

Did you mean {Spitemare}?

All jesting aside, let's say you are talking about {Spitemare}.  It's ability is triggered by the damage.  This means that the damage has already been dealt.  Sorry, you didn't make it out of that one alive...   :'(  You'd be dead before {Spitemare}'s trigger would be put on the stack.

If it was a replacement ability (if the word "instead" showed up) things would be different.

Eitherway you friend has 6 life and {spitemare} has a toughness of 3.  A 12/12 trample will only assign 3 dmg to the CandyCaneZebra so it would only be able to deal 3 dmg.....not 12
