Elspeth Tirel's +2 lifegain ability...
Asked by MountainMan817 9 years ago
Elspeth Tirel 's +2 ability: does each 1 life gained count as a separate instance of lifegain?
Say I have an Ajani's Pridemate and 3 other creatures out on the field... and i activate Elspeth Tirel for +2... how many counters would Ajani's Pridemate get? 1 or 4?

The ability is "Gain 1 life for each creature you control" not " gain life equal to the number of creatures you control"... It's just so confusing haha

Ajani's Pridemate will only trigger multiple times if there are multiple lifegaining events. Two Serra Ascendant s dealing damage will result in two separate lifegain events, meaning that the Pridemate will get two counters. When a single permanent creates a lifegain event, it is a single lifegain event and will not trigger multiple times.

Nope, it's still one lifegain event, and only one counter would be put on Ajani's Pridemate . Compare/contrast with cards like Ageless Entity .
