{livewire lash}
{glistner elf}
{piller of flame}
{rangers guile}
So my buddy has glistner elf out equiped with the lash. I play piller of flame on it, he in response plays rangers guile will he do 4 infect or 2?

[Sagemaster]

He'll do 6, 4 from the elf an 2 from livewire lash.

[Tetsomori]

Pillar is a sorcery and was played on my turn the elf was only targeted 2 times but one fizzled. Not sure if The ability would still go off

[Sagemaster]

Oh right then he only deals 2 infect two you because the pillar fizzles.

[TBNL]

It would deal 4, wouldn't it? The lash says "whenever the creature becomes targeted", so both the pillar and guile target the elf, but the pillar still fizzles. So, 4 Infect for you.

He was targeted. Thats all that matters.

But he gains hex proof so I thought that makes it that pillar of flame has no target...

Targeting is part of casting, once it has been targeted that is that......my point is that of you were to counter his spell the livewire lash would still trigger since countering a spell does not change the fact that it was targeted in the first place.
