Tainted Remedy and Beacon of Immortality

Asked by hiddengibbons 2 years ago

Having read the rules text, I’m of the understanding that Beacon of Immortality counts as life gain. But if you used it on an opponent with Tainted Remedy out, the opponent’s life total would be reduced to 0?

Polaris says... Accepted answer #1

Yes. Any time an effect sets a player's life total to a new amount, that player gains or loses the appropriate amount of life. Beacon of Immortality results in gaining life. For another example, Sorin Markov's -3 ability will cause them to gain or lose life to make their life total 10.

Tainted Remedy will therefore apply as you said here, making a kill combo with Beacon of Immortality.
