Lifelink vs Prevent all combat damage?

Asked by jamboski 11 years ago

So would creatures with Lifelink being blocked by Guard Gomazoa stop Lifelink from activating?

First, lifelink doesn't activate. Only activated abilities activate. Lifelink is a static ability that happens concurrently with damage.

Lifelink means "whenever this source deals damage, you gain that much life." If damage is prevented, it isn't dealt, so no life is gained.
