If the minion has died when it attacks another minion, then it should not be able to be attacked. How in the world can a minion attack something that is already dead. I had a full board with multiple high attack minions. After the first 2, there were no other minions left that could kill my other high attack minions. I sat there and watched 4 minions attack other dead minions and thus they died attacking a dead minion. That is some A+ grade BS right there.
That’s how these kinds of effects have always worked. The minions don’t ‘die’ until the effect is finished. I forget the priest cards that also do effects like this, but this is the way it’s always worked. It’s consistent.
