Thing in the Ice question

So opponent had their Thing out. My creature attacked it with enough power to kill it outright. It hit 0 health AND THEN FLIPPED! Is this by design?

Kinda annoying, had it happen twice that match…

2

Yes by design. It is a berzerker foil.

I would expect that to be the same with Westvale Abbey right? If it gets hit by berserkers, it would flip instead of being destroyed, right?

4

Nope, Abby just dies if it hits 0.

5

of cos it flips instead of dying! it’s a mythic! abbey is merely a rare so it dies!

Westvale Abbey only transforms at the start of your turn. Thing in the Ice transforms immediately upon toughness going below 6. That’s the difference.
