Archespore/Cyprian Deathwish + Weaken Interaction

[DicklePickler]

Just played a game in which I weakened a damaged (1 power) Archespore with Cyprian Wiley and the deathwish (4 random damage) still triggered. I assume that is a bug. The Archespore did show up in the opponents graveyard as well.

I thought weaken was specifically supposed to prevent deathwishes from occuring, kind of defeats the whole purpose of the effect if not. Perhaps because the base power is 7 the weaken doesn't work? It isn't very intuitive if that is the case since the power was reduced to 0 or below

Units get banished if their base power is reduced to 0. Weakening a 7 base STR unit will only reduce it to 3 base STR, but since it was already damaged down to 1, you reduced it's current power, sending it to the graveyard & triggering it's deathwish. Working as intended.

Wiley works on nekers, too bad he cant destroy ambushes anymore.
