Player deaths and death triggers
Was playing with the pod last night, and had a first time interaction I am unsure we played out correctly.
Player 1 (P1) swings out at Player 2 (P2) with lethal damage.
P1 is at 1 life.
P2 has [[Elas il-kor, Sadistic pilgrim]] in play. P2 blocks one of P1’s creatures, resulting in lethal damage assigned to P2’s creature
Still enough damage goes through for P1 to kill P2 however.
Then, we all agreed that player death happens at the same time for both P1 and P2 since all damage is assigned at the same time, resulting in a draw
HOWEVER, thinking back, doesn’t player death result in all spells, permanents and triggers being “exiled” / leave the battlefield? That would result in P1’s victory correct since Elas would never trigger?
