    Dethrone doesn't trigger if the creature attacks a planeswalker, even if its controller has the most life.
  • 2014-05-29
    Once dethrone triggers, it doesn't matter what happens to the players' life totals before the ability resolves. You'll put a +1/+1 counter on the creature even if the defending player doesn't have the most life as the ability resolves.
  • 2014-05-29
    The +1/+1 counter is put on the creature before blockers are declared.
  • 2014-05-29
    In a Two-Headed Giant game, dethrone will trigger if the creature attacks the team with the most life or tied for the most life.
