lifelink and protection

Asked by abenz419 11 years ago

I have a black creature with lifelink that I attack with. My opponent has a creature with protection from black and blocks. Does protection prevent the damage from being dealt or is the damage dealt and then reduced to 0? basically do I still gain the life?

Child of Night , Knight of Glory for examples.

Protection prevents the damage outright. Even if it didn't, as far as I know reducing the damage happens before it is dealt, not after, so either way you would not gain life.

Lifelink only gains you life from actual damage dealt.

If that damage gets prevented, you gain no life
