Survivalist+boomerang (not a bug)

What was the official ruling on this?

Gondorian never gave one. Which kinda sucks, but...makes me just assume my dreams of making that deck a reality are squished. Would have been an amazing deck though, i would think.

Sorry I missed this thread originally.

Boooomerang goes back to deck when it deals combat damage, but durability has not yet been taken off at that point, so it is not destroyed.

This looks like another one of those non-intuitive things we see from time to time. If Boooomerang was worded such that it didn't do combat damage the current behavior would make sense, but requiring, say, physical players to dissect the stages of combat and move this card to the bottom of the deck 'twixt blow and durability decrement seems odd.

Why does spell-check flag 'decrement'? It's a perfectly valid English word.

But it would be really cool if it worked the other way, right? Maybe you could change it to being shuffled into the deck when it is destroyed?

Yeah, it really would be cool. Can you imagine where skervox would be right now had that been the correct mechanic and i got the deck spreading? 20+ recources with you deck bottomed out, cycling 4 boomerangs to annialate the twilights. Sadly it cant happen :/
