If Lightsmith Clariel (DT080) uses its armor to prevent 2 damage and then in the same turn I trigger its "Before Fight:" ability, will it be destroyed?
No, Lightsmith Clariel will not be destroyed. Lightsmith Clariel’s power will become its total armor value (its printed armor plus any effects that change its armor), even if that armor has been used to prevent damage already. So after the switch it will have 2 power.
