So, I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but I thought I'd ask the audience. If I have Pyrohemia or Earthquake, something that deals damage to creatures and players simultaneously, and War Elemental out, does my War Elemental die before it receives the +1/+1 counters?
I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, it will die and then counters will be distributed to the now non-existent target. Nonetheless, I thought I'd ask to be certain.
Thanks in advance for any help given.

You are correct, when you use either of those damage will be dealt to your opponent. This will trigger your elemental's ability but state based actions will destroy your creature for having leathal damage on it before the ability even makes it to the stack. The ability will resolve with out any function.
Thanks for the quick response. I'm glad to have that in order, so thanks again for the help.
