I have an unusual situation that occurred, here is the basic board setup. I am the active player and have three artifacts in play, I have a Voltaic Key and two Etched Champions and with Metalcraft active they have Protection From All Colors. My opponent has two 2/2 Green Wolf Tokens on the field.
I initiate my combat phase and decide to attack with both Etched Champions. As I attack my opponent decides to cast Krosan Grip which targets my Voltaic Key for destruction. My question is what happens next?
Since combat has initiated do the Etched Champions still have full color protections and my opponent won't be able to block the attack or will their spell resolve and the Etched Champions lose their protections so my opponent can then block? If the spell was cast before combat I totally understand that the Voltaic Key would be destroyed and with it the Metalcraft bonus so combat would be ill advised.
My thought was everything is happening at once since combat began so the protections stay intact but the Voltaic Key still gets destroyed and then after combat the protections disappear. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks for taking a look!
Let's say I have an Aegis of the Gods on the field as well as the artifact equipment Sword of Body and Mind. It's my turn and I pay two colorless to equip the sword to my creature and my opponent casts Shock on Aegis of the Gods. Does the equip ability go on the stack and Shock hits before the sword can be equipped or does the sword get equipped first thus saving my creature from getting destroyed. I can see the argument for both but wanted to make sure. Any help would be most appreciated
