LIFELINK EXPLAINED If a creature has lifelink, any amount of damage it deals allows its controller to gain that much life. And that's any damage: combat and non-combat damage alike. So, if your creature with lifelink “fights” another creature outside of combat or deals damage via an activated ability, you'll still gain the life! From the Comprehensive Rules (November 8, 2024—Magic: The Gathering Foundations) 702.15. Lifelink 702.15a Lifelink is a static ability. 702.15b Damage dealt by a source with lifelink causes that source’s controller, or its owner if it has no controller, to gain that much life (in addition to any other results that damage causes). See rule 120.3. 702.15c If an object changes zones before an effect causes it to deal damage, its last known information is used to determine whether it had lifelink. 702.15d The lifelink rules function no matter what zone an object with lifelink deals damage from. 702.15e If multiple sources with lifelink deal damage at the same time, they cause separate life gain events (see rules 119.9–10). Example: A player controls Ajani’s Pridemate, which reads “Whenever you gain life, put a +1/+1 counter on Ajani’s Pridemate,” and two creatures with lifelink. The creatures with lifelink deal combat damage simultaneously. Ajani’s Pridemate’s ability triggers twice. 702.15f Multiple instances of lifelink on the same object are redundant. https://draftsim.com/lifelink-mtg/ https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Lifelink https://blog.cardkingdom.com/mtg-keywords-explained-lifelink/ https://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=220182 https://draftsim.com/mtg-best-lifelinker/ Presentation: Nora Ventriglia ▶ Dont forget to subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/casualmtgdecks ❤︎ Check out my favorite magic content creators ▶ ❤︎ Awesome magic cosplayers - Zbexx ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGWe... ) - Tarmokat - Christine Sprankle ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZEfr... ) - Talia Vess - Ladee Danger https://www.youtube.com/user/theladee... - Jana Amari https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClGe... - tappytoeclaws https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SF0qc... ❤︎ MTG Alter Artists on instagram: damarideneurommancer sm.art.omish starsizzetmagic ❤︎ Youtube Content creators Pleasantkenobi: https://www.youtube.com/user/Pleasant...
