Brave the Sands & Liesa, Shroud of Dusk

Asked by DeRotto17 2 years ago

I am wondering if Brave the Sands when Liesa, Shroud of Dusk is on the battlefield (or any lifelink creature for that matter) would mean she gets double the lifelink since she can block 2 creatures at once. Am I reading how this interaction would work correctly or can she block 2 creatures but only get up to 5 lifelink?

Thanks in advance!

She would still only do the 5 damage. Blocking multiple attackers works (essentially) like being double-blocked when attacking.

Each creature still only does damage up to its power, but they can assign that damage to multiple creatures (once they've done lethal damage to the first one).

So Liesa, Shroud of Dusk would still do five damage, and you'd gain five life, but (for example) if two 1/1 goblins were attacking, she could kill them both. If two 4/4 beasts were attacking, she'd only kill one of them, and then do 1 point of damage to the second.
