Crash Down the Gates (Blue)

Crash Down the Gates’ first ability triggers when it resolves on the stack and becomes an attacking card against a hero. That hero must reveal the top of their deck. If Crash Down the Gates has that is strictly greater than the revealed card, this will get +2.

Crash Down the Gates’ will compare its modified , not its base .

If a card without the property is revealed, Crash Down the Gates will get +2.

If the hero cannot reveal the top card of their deck when Crash Down the Gates’ triggered effect resolves (e.g. Channel the Bleak Expanse), Crash Down the Gates will get +2

Crash Down the Gates’ second ability triggers when it hits a hero. That hero must destroy the top card of their deck when the triggered effect resolves.

Destroying the top card of that hero’s deck will not trigger any “when this is destroyed,…” effects unless it is specified by the ability’s triggering condition.

Destroying the top card of that hero’s deck will not satisfy any condition nor trigger any effects that look at whether you’ve destroyed an object you control (e.g. Merciful Retribution, Ratchet Up) as you do not control the cards in your deck.
