Warstorm Surge

Warhammer 40,000 Commander (40K) #209★ · Rare · Enchantment

Mana cost: {5}{R}

Whenever a creature you control enters, it deals damage equal to its power to any target.

Khorne's sole desire is to drown the galaxy in a tide of slaughter. To conquer and kill every living thing, until there is nothing left but spilled blood and shattered bone.

Rulings

1. 2011-09-22 · wotc — Warstorm Surge is the source of the ability, but the creature is the source of the damage. The ability couldn't target a creature with protection from red, for example. It could target a creature with protection from creatures, but all the damage would be prevented. Since damage is dealt by the creature, abilities like lifelink, deathtouch and infect are taken into account, even if the creature has left the battlefield by the time it deals damage.
2. 2011-09-22 · wotc — The creature that entered deals damage equal to its current power to the targeted permanent or player. If it's no longer on the battlefield, its last known existence on the battlefield is checked to determine its power.
