If an opponent loses life but Florian leaves the battlefield before your postcombat main phase begins, its last ability doesn't trigger. - 2021-09-24 · Wizards of the Coast
You get a postcombat main phase even if no creatures attacked during a turn. Florian's last ability will trigger. - 2021-09-24 · Wizards of the Coast
You must pay all costs and follow all timing rules for cards you play with Florian's last ability. - 2021-09-24 · Wizards of the Coast
Damage dealt to a player causes that player to lose that much life. - 2021-09-24 · Wizards of the Coast
If an opponent loses life and subsequently loses the game before your postcombat main phase, Florian's last ability counts that loss of life. - 2021-09-24 · Wizards of the Coast
If you somehow have more than two main phases in a turn, each main phase after your first one is a postcombat main phase, and Florian's last ability triggers at the beginning of each of them. - 2021-09-24 · Wizards of the Coast
Florian's ability checks only how much life opponents lost during the turn, not by how much their life totals decreased compared to the start of the turn. For example, if an opponent lost 2 life and then gained 8 life before Florian's ability resolves, you'll look at the top two cards of your library.
