New player questions

Just started playing in VR, and loving it so far, but just have a few questions if anyone can help.

  • Who do event cards from the monster deck effect? The person who draws them? Everyone? Or are they assigned, like curses?

  • Are cursed monsters considered curses for gameplay purposes?

  • If you heal from 0 to 1, do you avoid death? Does the death trigger check health on resolution, or would you still die at 1?

  • Can a person be killed before their first turn? Or are they 'dead' until they start?

  • Can players activate non-tap abilities when dead? Do their triggered abilities trigger?
