| Lifesaving Block | Any damage modifications that are applied before the block triggers are taken into account. So, for example, if Righteous Frenzy boosts your attack damage, that will be considered by the block. Blocks only care about the base damage of the card plus whatever boosts have been applied to it so far. Zombie Mob, Anvil Strike, Touch of Death, Devastating Blow etc bypass Lifesaving Block. Touch of Death doesn't calculate it's damage until the time it is applied. So, when the block is triggered, Touch of Death's damage is calculated as zero. Expecting Lifesaving Block to trigger while holding Raging Strike won't work. Ditto for Unholy Curse, Vulnerable etc as well. As a general rule, blocks do not trigger upon allied damage so killing an ally with Lifesaving Block does not work. This card was initially named as Guardian Angel. Try searching the forums to browse the multiple cases of it not triggering. |
