Pyrogoyf not dying after casting toxic deluge
My opponents pyrogoyf was a 5 6 and I cast toxic deluge, paying 6 life. For some reason the opponents pyrogoyf did not die and had 1 toughness left. The types in the graveyard align with this I will add them below.
They then killed me right after this because I had an empty board and their pyrogoyf was still alive.

Your Toxic Deluge enters the graveyard before state based action s are checked. If there were no sorceries in the graveyards before it, then Pyrogoyf's toughness increases by 1 due to this BEFORE state based actions happen and would see it at 0 toughness. This is the same reason why Bolting a 2/3 Tarmogoyf without instants in the graveyard fails to kill it.
