    Pride of the mountain VS Artful Squire

    Hi again everyone,

    please refer to Mizar VS Uryma.

    As you notice, when I cast Artful Squire using his ability to destroy Pride of the Mountain, it happens that the "self-sacrifice" is flagged as "death_by_combat" instead of "death_by_ability" and Uryma draws a card as consequence of Squire's death.
    Furthermore, in the Squire description there is no mention of "killed" "dies" "destroyed" but it simply says the card is placed in the graveyard.

    Thanks for the attention.

    Heya,

    Indeed, using Artful Squire's "on summon" ability to target and destroy a Pride of the Mountain should not cause Pride of the Mountain to draw your opponent a card as Artful Squire was not killed in combat. If that occurs, then that is a bug.

    It should be noted, however, that the act of placing an ally from the field to the graveyard will be considered "killing" it for the purposes of a card effect. As such, even if a card did say "placed in the graveyard" it would still mean the ally was killed as long as it was in play before being placed in the graveyard.

    Hope that helps
