Biomancer's GAME PLAY includes:
REDUCE THE FIRST DAMAGE DEALT TO BIOMANCER EACH TURN BY 2
In the line above does 'FIRST DAMAGE DEALT' refer to the first time that Biomancer takes damage or to the first time that damage would be dealt to Biomancer?
For example, consider Ra with no cards in play, doing the following:
- Plays Living Conflagaration, "WHEN THIS CARD ENTERS PLAY, RA DEALS 1 TARGET 2 FIRE DAMAGE"
- Uses PYRE: "RA DEALS 1 TARGET 2 FIRE DAMAGE"
In the above scenario, how much damage is done to Biomancer? Is it 2 or 4?
Note, for comparison's sake, the card CALIGINOUS FORM from The Sentinels, which uses WOULD BE DEALT DAMAGE EACH TURN.
