Sort of a follow-up to Can Hour of Devastation kill Heliod, Sun-Crowned?

Let's say my opponent has two Benalish Marshal and Heliod, Sun-Crowned. I cast Hour of Devastation. Per murgatroid99's answer, Heliod survives.

If my opponent next plays some flash creatures or enchantments that turn Heliod back into a creature, does it still have 5 damage marked on it (+ is no longer indestructible)?

  • "If my opponent next plays some flash creatures or enchantments that turn Heliod back into a creature" Are you imagining a scenario in which there's a creature with "target permanent is now a creature"? If you're referring to devotion, Heliod only cares about your devotion, not your opponent's.

  • @Acccumulation the way the question is worded, Heliod does not care about my devotion, since my opponent is the one controlling Heliod.

Yes, Damage is marked on a permanent even if it is not a creature.

Comp rules:

119.6. Damage marked on a creature remains until the cleanup step, even if that permanent stops being a creature.

Heliod will also not be indestructible in the given scenario, since he was a creature while Hour of Devastation was resolving, which is all that HoD cares about. Changing or losing permanent types does not cause Heliod to regain indestructibility.

  • Do you know if the indestructibility remains?
