Zephyrs may not recognize Mal'ganis effect

  • Opponent has a board of taunts (void walkers and void dads) and a Mal’ganis

  • My side has lethal damage ready, and 4 disposable mana after zephyrs.

  • Choices given were frost nova, sacrificial pact, and soul of the forest

Playing zephrys did not give me mass dispel which would have been lethal.

I hypothesize that Mal’ganis’ effect is not recognized by Zephyrs and thus Zephyrs only sees that the opponent is immune and thus does not look for lethal. Note this is just a theory.

Correct. They also documented the exception for Doomsayer, that they made with a patch:
