God Removal

Now as far as the whole {Giant Growth} thing goes. The creature will survive, as long as te growth resolves first.

If the growth does not, then it will be burned to death as a 0/1. If not, then we get to some fun layering rulings:

Layer 7b (changing P/T to specific numbers) comes first, even though the giant growth resolved first, this means that {Turn//Burn}'s P/T modification will APPLY first. This will turn the creature into a 0/1.

Next we have layer 7c, which are P/T modifying effects that don't set to specific numbers, such as our {Giant Growth} effect. The growth will pump them up, and allow them to survive the 2 damage from burn.

A bit confusing, as it seems like things are going off in between the resolution of {Turn//Burn}. But it's how the game checks the state of the creature, even if it seems a bit weird.

This is why people hate layer questions

I said thassa would live. Keyoto said thassa lives as long as giant growth resolved first. Great minds think alike right

I was just pointing out that it doesn't matter if {giant growth} was cast first and resolves before turn//burn is even cast, or if it is put on the stack afterwards and resolves first. The layering means its effects are always applied last.

To clarify, thassa dies to turn/burn

Which was the initial question, giant growth simply got thrown in the mess.
