Celestial Mantle and Lifelink
Asked by IamDylan 13 years ago
When a creature enchanted with Celestial Mantle has lifelink does the lifelink damage get doubled too or is it added after the life total is doubled? I guess my question is which happens first in the stack-doubling life total or converting lifelink damage to health?

If a creature dealing combat damage at the same time as the enchanted creature has lifelink, the life gained due to lifelink happens before Celestial Mantle's triggered ability resolves.
Straight from the celestial mantle rulings on gatherer.
So in other words the creature deals damage, you gain life equal to that damage and then your health doubles.

if you play by old rules lifelink stacks but the tornoment rules say that it does not stack

oops i thought this was a doule life link question
lifelink does not use the stack anymore
you gain like the same instant the lifelike creature deals damage, then the enchantments ability gets put onto the stack

Lifelink is not a triggered ability, it is a static ability. You gain the life when damage happens. Celestial Mantle 's ability will then go on the stack as a result of damage.
