10 rulings for 5 cards

Anguished Unmaking

Wizards of the Coast 12 Apr 2024

If the target nonland permanent is an illegal target as Anguished Unmaking tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won't lose 3 life.

Astarion, the Decadent

Wizards of the Coast 10 Jun 2022

Use the creature's power as it last existed on the battlefield to determine the value of X.

Exquisite Blood

Wizards of the Coast 1 May 2012

Damage dealt to an opponent usually causes that opponent to lose life. An opponent paying life also causes loss of life.

Wizards of the Coast 1 May 2012

If you and an opponent both lose life simultaneously, and this causes your life total to become 0 or less, you'll lose the game before Exquisite Blood's triggered ability can resolve.

Mortify

Wizards of the Coast 1 Feb 2006

This spell isn't modal. When it resolves, it will destroy the target if it's a creature or an enchantment, even if it changed from one to the other between targeting and resolution.

Sanguine Bond

Wizards of the Coast 12 Apr 2024

In a Two-Headed Giant game, life gained by your teammate won't cause Sanguine Bond's ability to trigger, even though it caused your team's life total to increase.

Wizards of the Coast 1 Sep 2023

Each creature with lifelink dealing combat damage causes a separate life-gaining event. For example, if two creatures you control with lifelink deal combat damage at the same time, Sanguine Bond's ability will trigger twice and you may choose a different opponent for each trigger. However, if a single creature you control with lifelink deals combat damage to multiple creatures, players, planeswalkers, and/or battles at the same time (perhaps because it has trample or was blocked by more than one creature), the ability will trigger only once.

Wizards of the Coast 19 Mar 2021

If you gain an amount of life "for each" of something, that life is gained as one event and Sanguine Bond's ability triggers only once.

Wizards of the Coast 19 Mar 2021

If an ability triggers whenever an opponent loses life and causes you to gain life, such as the ability of Exquisite Blood, this will loop until either you win the game or a player takes an action to break the loop. If neither of these happen, the game ends in a draw.

Wizards of the Coast 1 Oct 2009

Sanguine Bond's ability triggers just once for each life-gaining event, whether it's 1 life from Soul Warden or 8 life from Tendrils of Corruption.

Also Printed in Other Drops

Some of these cards came in other Secret Lair drops too, each with its own art.
