[Hearthstone Science] V-07-TR-0N's Instant Destruction (Mimiron's Head vs Forced Death Phase)
Channel: Patashu
Date: 2015-06-14

So what happened?

To make room for V-07-TR-0N to be placed on the battlefield, Mimiron's Head, when it triggers, runs a Forced Death Phase where all friendly Mechs, including Mimiron's Head, are destroyed, and any consequences (such as Deathrattles and Cult Masters) are triggered now. However, unlike a normal Death Phase, where if any furthers deaths are caused those get resolved afterwards before finally moving on, a Forced Death Phase does not run further death processing. This means that the enemy Boom Bots remain mortally wounded until the Start of Turn Phase ends completely, whereupon death processing is run again - and the new V-07-TR-0N is a valid target.
