Platinum Emperion Rulings
- Dec 7, 2018 Abilities that trigger whenever damage is dealt to you will still trigger because that damage is still dealt, even though your life total doesn’t change as a result.
- Dec 7, 2018 Effects that replace an event with having you gain life (like Words of Worship’s effect does) or having you lose life will end up replacing the event with nothing.
- Dec 7, 2018 Effects that would replace having you gain life with some other event won’t be able to be applied because it’s impossible for you to gain life.
- Dec 7, 2018 If a cost would include causing you to gain life (like the alternative cost of an opponent’s Invigorate does), that cost can’t be paid.
- Dec 7, 2018 If an effect says to set your life total to a certain number, that part of the effect won’t do anything.
