Essence Channeler Rulings
5 most recent
- Jul 26, 2024 Each creature with lifelink dealing combat damage causes a separate life-gaining event. For example, if two creatures you control with lifelink deal combat damage at the same time, Essence Channeler’s second ability will trigger twice. However, if a single creature you control with lifelink deals combat damage to multiple creatures, players, planeswalkers, and/or battles at the same time (perhaps because it has trample or was blocked by more than one creature), the ability will trigger only once.
- Jul 26, 2024 Essence Channeler’s first ability cares whether you’ve lost life this turn, not how your life total has changed. For example, if you’ve gained 2 life and lost 1 life so far this turn, you’ve still lost life.
- Jul 26, 2024 Essence Channeler’s last ability doesn’t cause you to move counters from Essence Channeler onto the target creature. Rather, you put the same number of each kind of counter Essence Channeler had when it died onto the target creature.
- Jul 26, 2024 Essence Channeler’s last ability puts all counters that were on Essence Channeler onto the target creature, not just its +1/+1 counters.
- Jul 26, 2024 Essence Channeler’s second ability triggers just once for each life-gaining event, no matter how much life was gained.
