(sorry to add this so soon)

How does Blood Rage interact with damage that can't slay a unit? Does "can't slay a unit" functionally mean "if this damage would reduce the unit's HP to zero, instead reduce it to 1", or something else?

Blood Rage specifically states that the unit's HP is zero. If the damage can't slay then it does nothing if Blood Rage is active.

Lemme rephrase: since Blood Rage triggers on going to zero, and the unit is specifically not slain, can abilities like Plague reduce a unit with Blood Rage from 1HP to 0HP? My intuition is that they cannot, but if you were to ask me why I couldn't give you a great answer.

(but yeah these abilities obviously can't slay a unit that has reached zero hp, activated Blood Rage, and is now at zero hp but not slain yet, and apologize for not making my question clearer)

Ah. I have the opposite intuition. But "slain" is defined as reaching 0HP(pg.13),  not by actually removing(killing) a unit, so it seems like you are right. Still seems tricky on what the intention was.
