How can Maze of Ith be used after damage is dealt? The card reads: ➡️: Target attacking creature becomes untapped. This creature neither deals nor receives damage as a result of combat.
Hi Brian. I was perplexed about it as well once I learned about that mechanic. It’s because there’s a point in time after damage is dealt and resolved where the creature is still labeled “attacking”. That means it’s a legal target for maze and can be targeted and untapped even after it has received and also dealt its damage. Its a nice little trick to have when you prefer to have an untapped creature rather than an untapped maze. It can also be used to circumvent the effect of meekstone and similar.
