    Dryad Arbor, Knight of the Reliquary, Pyrokinesis

    Opp has 3/3 KotR and Arbor in play, I chose to deal 1dmg to Arbor and 3 to the Knight with Pyrokinesis. Both die?

    Yes.

    IIRC, after Pyrokinesis resolves, state-based effects are checked (simultaneously). Knight is a 3/3 with 3 damage, Arbor is a 1/1 with 1 damage, so both go into the graveyard simultaneously (and controller chooses the order).

    Both die to state-based actions. Knight would not survive in this scenario.

    Was the Knight tapped or under summoning sickness? If not couldn't the Knight player respond by activating Knight sac-ing Dryad Arbor (Forest Dryad) tutoring up a land and then Knight lives as a 4/4 and they don't "loose" a land drop?

    Still curious. I'm fairly certain this works, but a confirmation would be nice.

    Yeah, would work if the Knight was able to activate.
    The seven cardinal sins of Legacy:
    1. Discuss the unbanning of Land Tax Earthcraft.
    2. Argue that banning Force of Will would make the format healthier.
    3. Play Brainstorm without Fetchlands.
    4. Stifle Standstill.
    5. Think that Gaea's Blessing will make you Solidarity-proof.
    6. Pass priority after playing Infernal Tutor.
    7. Fail to playtest against Nourishing Lich (coZ iT wIlL gEt U!).
