View on Scryfall ↗Valentin, Dean of the Vein // Lisette, Dean of the Root is legal in Pioneer, Modern, Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Standard and Pauper.
Valentin, Dean of the Vein // Lisette, Dean of the Root Rulings
- Apr 16, 2021 An ability that triggers “whenever you gain life” triggers just once for each life-gaining event, no matter how much life you gain.
- Apr 16, 2021 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, a “whenever you gain life” ability will trigger twice. However, if a single creature you control with lifelink deals combat damage to multiple creatures, players, and/or planeswalkers at the same time (perhaps because it has trample or was blocked by more than one creature), the ability will trigger only once.
- Apr 16, 2021 If a nontoken creature an opponent controls would die, and both Valentin and another effect are trying to exile it instead, that opponent chooses which effect to apply. If Valentin’s effect ends up not applying because of this choice, the triggered ability that allows you to pay {2} won’t trigger, even if the creature card ends up in exile.
- Apr 16, 2021 If you gain an amount of life “for each” of something, that life is gained as one event and the ability will trigger only once.
- Apr 16, 2021 If you gain life at the same time a creature you control is dealt lethal damage, that creature dies before Lisette’s ability can put a +1/+1 counter on it.
