Title: Psychosis crawler/jaces archivist
Post by: Quackmaster5 on June 21, 2013, 12:27:53 PM
If I activate  {Jace's Archivist} activated ability, would my  {Psychosis Crawler} die?

I know it's a "discard, then draw" but since it's one ability, Does it happen simultaneously?

It wouldn't. Yes your crawler would be a 0/0 during the resolution of the ability however state-based is only checked before an after the ability not during so it wont die.

As a general rule just remember you can do anything in the middle of doing something else.
