Dethrone (Whenever this creature attacks the player with the most life or tied for most life, put a +1/+1 counter on it.) Pay 3 life: Add .

The ogre was right, the view was breathtaking—mostly due to all the screaming on the way down.

Rulings

In a Two-Headed Giant game, dethrone will trigger if the creature attacks either player on the team with the most life or tied for the most life.

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.

The +1/+1 counter is put on the creature before blockers are declared.

Dethrone doesn't trigger if the creature attacks a planeswalker, even if its controller has the most life. The same is true if the creature attacks a battle, even if its protector has the most life.
