Serra the Benevolent Rulings

  • Jun 14, 2019

    If you have less than 1 life and somehow haven't lost the game, damage dealt to you reduces your life total further below 0 (as normal).

  • Jun 14, 2019

    In a Two-Headed Giant game, damage dealt to you and/or your teammate that would reduce your team's life total to less than 1 reduces it to 1 instead, as long as you control a creature. It doesn't matter whether your teammate controls a creature, even if they're the player being dealt damage

  • Jun 14, 2019

    In the Commander variant, combat damage you're dealt by a commander is still tracked, even if it doesn't change your life total.

  • Jun 14, 2019

    Serra's emblem doesn't prevent damage. It only changes the result of damage dealt to you. For example, a creature with lifelink that deals damage to you will still cause its controller to gain life, even if that damage would reduce your life total to less than 1.

  • Jun 14, 2019

    Serra's emblem doesn't stop loss of life from effects that say that you lose life.
