Siege dragon

[Grimmykinns]

{siege dragon} has the 2 damage ability when he attacks. Is this considered combat damage? Would it be prevented by cards that prevent combat damage?

[Remillo]

Combat damage is specifically damage dealt by creatures during the Combat Damage step.  Anything that triggers when creatures attack, like Seige Dragon or {Hellrider}, are not Combat Damage, even though it happens to be during the Combat Phase.

[Grimmykinns]

So {ghostly possession} would not prevent the damage, right?

[Oldschoolmtgnoob]

No, ghostly possession would not prevent the 2 damage if it were on siege dragon, or if it were on a creature that would be dealt the 2 damage by siege dragon

Ok cool big thanks to both of you
