Syr Konrad, the Grim + The Mindskinner

Overview

If The Mindskinner is controlled by the same player as Syr Konrad, the Grim, Mindskinner’s replacement effect replaces Syr Konrad’s damage to opponents with milling: whenever Syr Konrad’s ability would deal 1 damage to each opponent, that damage is prevented and each opponent instead mills that many cards [2024-09-20]. Multiple triggers from Syr Konrad (for multiple creatures dying or multiple creature cards put into graveyards) still occur, and each trigger’s 1 damage to each opponent is replaced individually [2019-10-04] .

Step 1

A trigger condition for Syr Konrad occurs (for example, one or more creature cards are milled or creatures die) and one or more Syr Konrad triggered abilities are put on the stack for the controller [2019-10-04] .

Step 2

When a Syr Konrad triggered ability resolves it attempts to deal 1 damage to each opponent as written; Syr Konrad is the source of that damage .

Step 3

The Mindskinner replacement effect applies to the event “a source you control would deal damage to an opponent.” Because The Mindskinner’s controller is the same as Syr Konrad’s controller (assumption), the replacement prevents the damage and instead causes each opponent to mill that many cards [2024-09-20] .

Step 4

If there are multiple Syr Konrad triggers (for multiple creatures dying or multiple creature cards put into graveyards), each trigger resolves separately and each such damage-to-opponent event is replaced in the same way — each trigger’s 1 damage to each opponent is prevented and each opponent mills 1 card for that trigger [2019-10-04] .

Step 5

Any milling that results from Mindskinner’s replacement (or from Syr Konrad’s activated milling ability) can itself put creature cards into graveyards, which may create additional Syr Konrad triggers that go on the stack after state-based actions are checked .

Step 6

Because the damage is prevented, opponents don’t lose life from those prevented damage events; instead they mill the specified number of cards [2024-09-20].

Resolution

When Syr Konrad’s triggered ability would deal damage to opponents, The Mindskinner’s replacement effect (if controlled by the same player) prevents that damage and causes each opponent to mill that many cards instead. If multiple Syr Konrad triggers exist (for multiple creatures dying or multiple creature cards put into graveyards), each trigger that would deal 1 damage to each opponent is replaced in the same way. Multiple copies of The Mindskinner don’t replace the same damage more than once (damage by a source you control is replaced only once) [2024-09-20] [2019-10-04] .
