    Default Lightning Bolt each other what happens magic official rulings faq

    What happens if me and other player are both at 1 life and I cast lightning bolt and he casts lightning bolt at the same time? Do I win (because I was first) or is it a draw?

    Because of the way the stack resolves. If you cast Lightning Bolt bolt first and your opponent responds with his own Bolt, that means his Bolt is on top of the stack. Since the stack resolves in LIFO (last in first out) order, his Bolt will resolve first, killing you. State-based actions are checked and see you at 0, causing you to lose before your Bolt can resolve.

    MAGIC is just as much a game of bluffing as any other game.

    Ever heard of poker-face? Well, get your MAGIC face on. Don't forget to smile though.

    Your friend should automatically lose for being a moron and holding on to his lighting bolt when he could have killed you with it before you used yours.

    true. if you have an untaped land that produces red mana then its the right play to hold that bolt. if you were taped out befor then he could have just killed you earlier without you been able to play your own bolt.
