How much total damage can I deal with Lightning Helix + Firesong and Sunspeaker?

Asked by vic 5 years ago

I have a Firesong and Sunspeaker in play. I cast a Lightning Helix. I believe I can deal 9 total damage. 3 from the text on the Helix, plus 6 more from 2 instances of lifegain (3+3). I'm looking for confirmation or a correction on this. Thanks.

From Gatherer entry for the card:

If a red and white spell you control deals damage and also instructs you to gain life, Firesong and Sunspeaker’s last ability triggers twice.

So, yes, 9 damage is correct.
