Anzrag, the Quake-Mole - Shouldn't Anrag die before its trigger?

Edgar

This creature says when it deals combat damage to a creature, you reinforce each creature you control twice. If we were in paper, Anzrag swinging into a 4 power creature (assume Anzrag doesn't have First Strike), should get 0 Toughness before the trigger, and thus die.

The way it actually works is that it gets its reinforcements before taking damage, effectively making Anzrag an 8/12.

Anyone else think the effect should more closely match how it would play out in paper?

I think they just fixed this in the newest update? But I haven't tested it myself.
