It may not matter a whole lot, but note that since everything died simultaneously, the Necromancer just made a bunch of skeletons.

So as active player, I don’t choose the order of deaths? It won’t matter to the outcome but I’m curious.

109

no u do not. they all die at the same time, so necro creates a skelly per every non token unit that dies

Cool. Including himself?

111

says “Whenever another non-token unit of yours dies, summon a 1/1 black Skeleton token.” so no.

corrected for additional base damage from add-on destruction

113

edit, no garth, mid arg, then kill orpal, arg will max, end up floating 2 gold, build hero’s hall instead
