You destroy one permanent. It's one target. And I think that would actually kill Emrakul. But your duelist would be killed also.

it's only one target you can destroy, and if you have two two..

the armors ability gives the creature +6/+6 and a annihilator-like effect. the difference is that the opponent does not sacrifice a permanent, instead you chose w/c permanent to destroy. so if you attack the duelist, the other ability triggers before declare blockers step so target the emrakul to destroy it. if you have 2 armors attached in play then you destroy 2 permanents.

You can not destroy Emrakul with Kor Duelist and Argentum Armor, Emrakul has protection from colored spells and the creature Argentum Armor is attached to is white. Argentum Armor extends Kor Duelist to have "Whenever equipped creature attacks, destroy target permanent", making the ability on placed on the stack white.


Combat phase consist of 5 steps.

* Beginning of Combat Step
* Declare Attackers Step
* Declare Blockers Step
* Combat Damage Step
* End of Combat Step

Double and first strike affect the combat damage step, as this is split into 2 seperate steps - first creatures with first and double strike deal damage, then follows a regular damage step.

Argentum Armor say "Whenever equipped creature attacks [...]" meaning when you declare equiped creature as attacker in Declare Attackers Step.

As double strike allows the creature to deal combat damage in both the first strike and regular combat damage step, it does not allow you to declare the same creature as attacker in multiple declare attackers step - therefore you can destroy only one permanent each combat.


With this said - you can have Argentum Armor trigger multiple times if you have multiple combat phases, as with the card Relentless Assault.


And as previously stated - multiple attached Argentum Armor will trigger multiple times. (once for each copy of Argentum Armor)

This is totally incorrect!!

- Emrakul has protection from spells not permanents and when an equipped creature with Argentum Armor attacks Emrakul is targetted by a permanent and not a spell so his protection isn't at all relevant.
- The destroy effect on Argentum Armor is not past on to the creature, it is a triggered effect from the equipment, this effect is colorless and not white like the above poster claimed

i agree with seth : )

However, once on the field, Kor Duelist is no longer a spell, therefore uneffected by Protection. Perhaps it's a colored ability, but it's no longer a spell and Emrakul's Protection capabilities don't come into play. Both creatures would be destroyed.

i dont know how ur getting the idea kor duelist and Emrakul are both gonna die some how

a creature with protection from a color doesnt die from lethal damage, like blocking or being blocked by a more powerful creature, it also makes creatures of a color not be able to block the protected creature and protection also makes that creature not targetable by spells of that color

duelist cant block emrakul since its got protection from white and the other colors, it also has flying, im saying the argentum armor is colorless so i can target and kill emrakul if i declare attack and use its ability like using a Umezawa's Jitte with 15 counters on it

then again emrakul does say protection from colored spells instead of protection from all colors, i guess that means oblivion ring would work on it :confused:

The duelist doesn't die if you target Emrakul with the ability of the Armor, but it does die if you target something else and Emrakul blocks the attacking duelist

+1

This is definately the case.

And I agree with Seth on the earlier mentioned comment aswell.
