Engineered Plague

[Burr]

So heres the situation:
I have an engineered plague in play named for sliver. my opponent has a muscle sliver in play. (i played engineered plague first then he played muscle) ok, now he plays a 1/1 sliver. does his sliver die to my engineered before it gets +1/+1 from the muscle sliver? or does he get +1/+1 from muscle sliver then -1/-1 from my plague?

Thanks in advance

When the muscle sliver comes into play state-based effects will not be checked until the effects from both the Engineered Plague and the Muscle Sliver are applied to the sliver. At that point, The muscle sliver will be a 1/1 and live.

i actually meant what happens to ANOTHER 1/1 sliver that is played in this situation? as in just a regular 1/1 sliver coming into play with a muscle and plague in play already. does it die or live?

Oh, So muscle is already in Play and they play another sliver? The same thing would happen E. Plague and Muscle's effect just void each other out and the new sliver lives.

Yup. Muscle Sliver and Engineered Plague essentially cancel each other out, and the new sliver stays a 1/1

o ok thanks, so it doesnt matter which came first (engineered plague or muscle sliver)? they just happen at the same time? alright. thanks guys.

Actually it may matter, but not for your issue. The state based effects are checked after all the continuous effects are applied.
