Lilandra: Majestrix
While Lilandra is active, your opponent must pay 2 life to use an Action Die or Global Ability.
Power Bolt: Basic Action Card
Deal 2 damage to target character die or player.
Suppose my opponent has Lilandra: Majestrix active and I use an action, such as Power Bolt: Basic Action Card. Does the payment of life (from Lilandra) happen before or after resolving Power Bolt?
In particular, what if both players are on 2 life? Thereby the damage from Power Bolt would end the game as would the loss of life from Lilandra. Could I even use Power Bolt in this case as I would go to 0 life?
Likewise, if Power Bolt were to deal enough damage to Lilandra to KO her, would her cost still need to be paid?
