Does regenerate stop lifelink?

Damage removed due to regeneration is still dealt with, though. So, if my lifelink creature deals lethal combat damage to a regenerated creature, I will still gain life. But that regenerated creature won't be destroyed.

Can you block Lifelink?

Yes. Any damage dealt by a creature with lifelink causes its controller to gain that much life, including combat damage dealt by such a creature while blocking.

What is the Lifelink rule?

If a creature has lifelink, any amount of damage it deals allows its controller to gain that much life. And that's any damage: combat and non-combat damage alike. So, if your creature with lifelink “fights” another creature outside of combat or deals damage via an activated ability, you'll still gain the life!

Does damage prevention stop lifelink?

Lifelink is a static ability that happens concurrently with damage. Lifelink means "whenever this source deals damage, you gain that much life." If damage is prevented, it isn't dealt, so no life is gained.

Does regenerate stop combat damage?

If a creature that has a regeneration shield faces a creature with deathtouch, both creatures deal combat damage. As the damage is dealt, however, the creature with regeneration is tapped, taken out of combat, and has all damage removed from it, thus bringing it back to full health.

Does deflecting palm stop lifelink?

Deflecting Palm doesn't actually redirect damage, as many players commonly say it does. Since it prevents damage then deals damage of its own, lifelink won't matter for the creature whose damage was prevented.

Did Lifelink ever stack?

No, lifelink is a static ability. It doesn't use the stack and doesn't trigger, rather giving the creature the ability to gain life whenever it deals damage.

Does rain of gore stop lifelink?

Rain of Gore will reverse lifelink when the source with lifelink is dealing damage due to a spell or ability, but combat damage isn't a spell or ability and thus Rain of Gore doesn't affect it.

Can Lifelink trigger twice?

The ability triggers twice. Here's the relevant rule from the comprehensive rules, which also includes an example where it does matter whether it's once or twice: 702.15e If multiple sources with lifelink deal damage at the same time, they cause separate life gain events (see rules 119.9–10).

Can you get double Lifelink?

Does lifelink work with trample?

Lifelink + Trample

510.1d A blocking creature assigns combat damage to the creatures it's blocking.

Does Hexproof nullify Deathtouch?

No, hexproof will not stop deathtouch.

Hexproof simply prevents it from being targeted by spells or abilities. Deathtouch isn't a targeting ability; it makes damage lethal regardless of the creature's toughness. Only indestructible can stop a deathtouch creature from killing another with combat damage.

Does Lifelink work on defending?
