Lifelink and "lethal damage"

Asked by Fizzz 10 years ago

I read somewhere that lifelink causes life gain as damage is dealt... BUT, what happens when:

I am at 4 life, a 9/9 trampler attacks me and I block with a 4/4 lifelink guy?

Do I die before I gain life? Or do I gain 4 life going to 8, then go to 3 from the 5 trampling damage?

Damage happens all at once, and that means you get your life gain at the same time as well. So,its not literally an order of going to 8 then 3, you just simply go to 3.

4+4-5=3 and 4-5+4=3, whichever way round you work it. It is all calculated at once, and you live to fight another turn!
