• Mtg Does Dmg Cause Loss Of Life Work

Researchers have long-known that benzodiazepines can cause brain damage. Two years later in Britain, Malcolm Lader, an expert on benzos at London's Institute of Psychiatry, called them ' the opium of the masses ' because of Britain's very high prescribing rates, a pattern that correlates with Europe and the States. Brain Damage from Benzodiazepines: The Troubling Facts, Risks, and History of Minor Tranquilizers Researchers have long-known that benzodiazepines can cause brain damage.

Dmg productions reviews. Damage is impairment or destruction that a creature, Planeswalker, or Player may suffer from a certain source.

• Damage dealt to creatures is removed from the creature at the end of each turn, unless the total damage dealt to that creature over the course of the turn equals or exceeds its toughness, which causes the creature to be destroyed and put into the graveyard unless another effect replaces this. An amount of damage larger than or equal to the toughness of a creature is called lethal damage.
• Damage dealt to a Planeswalker causes that many loyalty counters to be removed from it.
• Damage dealt to a player causes him or her to lose that much life.^[1]

While most damage is caused by the combat between creatures, or creatures attacking players, there are also many cards which can deal damage directly to creatures or players. These cards are usually red, e.g. Lightning Bolt.

Damage

Objects can deal “damage” to creatures, planeswalkers, and players. This is generally detrimental to the object or player that receives that damage. See rule 120, “Damage.”

From the Comprehensive Rules (October 4, 2019—Throne of Eldraine)

• 120.Damage
  • 120.1. Objects can deal damage to creatures, planeswalkers, and players. This is generally detrimental to the object or player that receives that damage. An object that deals damage is the source of that damage.
    • 120.1a Damage can’t be dealt to an object that’s neither a creature nor a planeswalker.
  • 120.2. Any object can deal damage.
    • 120.2a Damage may be dealt as a result of combat. Each attacking and blocking creature deals combat damage equal to its power during the combat damage step.
    • 120.2b Damage may be dealt as an effect of a spell or ability. The spell or ability will specify which object deals that damage.
  • 120.3. Damage may have one or more of the following results, depending on whether the recipient of the damage is a player or permanent, the characteristics of the damage’s source, and the characteristics of the damage’s recipient (if it’s a permanent).
    • 120.3a Damage dealt to a player by a source without infect causes that player to lose that much life.
    • 120.3b Damage dealt to a player by a source with infect causes that source’s controller to give the player that many poison counters.
    • 120.3c Damage dealt to a planeswalker causes that many loyalty counters to be removed from that planeswalker.
    • 120.3d Damage dealt to a creature by a source with wither and/or infect causes that source’s controller to put that many -1/-1 counters on that creature.
    • 120.3e Damage dealt to a creature by a source with neither wither nor infect causes that much damage to be marked on that creature.
    • 120.3f Damage dealt by a source with lifelink causes that source’s controller to gain that much life, in addition to the damage’s other results.
  • 120.4. Damage is processed in a three-part sequence.
    • 120.4a First, damage is dealt, as modified by replacement and prevention effects that interact with damage. (See rule 614, “Replacement Effects,” and rule 615, “Prevention Effects.”) Abilities that trigger when damage is dealt trigger now and wait to be put on the stack.
    • 120.4b Next, damage that’s been dealt is processed into its results, as modified by replacement effects that interact with those results (such as life loss or counters).
    • 120.4c Finally, the damage event occurs.

      Example: A player who controls Boon Reflection, an enchantment that says “If you would gain life, you gain twice that much life instead,” attacks with a 3/3 creature with wither and lifelink. It’s blocked by a 2/2 creature, and the defending player casts a spell that prevents the next 2 damage that would be dealt to the blocking creature. The damage event starts out as [3 damage is dealt to the 2/2 creature, 2 damage is dealt to the 3/3 creature]. The prevention effect is applied, so the damage event becomes [1 damage is dealt to the 2/2 creature, 2 damage is dealt to the 3/3 creature]. That’s processed into its results, so the damage event is now [one -1/-1 counter is put on the 2/2 creature, the active player gains 1 life, 2 damage is marked on the 3/3 creature]. Boon Reflection’s effect is applied, so the damage event becomes [one -1/-1 counter is put on the 2/2 creature, the active player gains 2 life, 2 damage is marked on the 3/3 creature]. Then the damage event occurs.

      Example: The defending player controls a creature and Worship, an enchantment that says “If you control a creature, damage that would reduce your life total to less than 1 reduces it to 1 instead.” That player is at 2 life, and is being attacked by two unblocked 5/5 creatures. The player casts Awe Strike, which says “The next time target creature would deal damage this turn, prevent that damage. You gain life equal to the damage prevented this way,” targeting one of the attackers. The damage event starts out as [10 damage is dealt to the defending player]. Awe Strike’s effect is applied, so the damage event becomes [5 damage is dealt to the defending player, the defending player gains 5 life]. That’s processed into its results, so the damage event is now [the defending player loses 5 life, the defending player gains 5 life]. Worship’s effect sees that the damage event would not reduce the player’s life total to less than 1, so Worship’s effect is not applied. Then the damage event occurs.

  • 120.5. Damage dealt to a creature or planeswalker doesn’t destroy it. Likewise, the source of that damage doesn’t destroy it. Rather, state-based actions may destroy a creature or planeswalker, or otherwise put it into its owner’s graveyard, due to the results of the damage dealt to that permanent. See rule 704.

    Example: A player casts Lightning Bolt, an instant that says “Lightning Bolt deals 3 damage to any target,” targeting a 2/2 creature. After Lightning Bolt deals 3 damage to that creature, the creature is destroyed as a state-based action. Neither Lightning Bolt nor the damage dealt by Lightning Bolt destroyed that creature.

  • 120.6. Damage marked on a creature remains until the cleanup step, even if that permanent stops being a creature. If the total damage marked on a creature is greater than or equal to its toughness, that creature has been dealt lethal damage and is destroyed as a state-based action (see rule 704). All damage marked on a permanent is removed when it regenerates (see rule 701.14, “Regenerate”) and during the cleanup step (see rule 514.2).
  • 120.7. The source of damage is the object that dealt it. If an effect requires a player to choose a source of damage, they may choose a permanent; a spell on the stack (including a permanent spell); any object referred to by an object on the stack, by a prevention or replacement effect that’s waiting to apply, or by a delayed triggered ability that’s waiting to trigger (even if that object is no longer in the zone it used to be in); or a face-up object in the command zone. A source doesn’t need to be capable of dealing damage to be a legal choice. See rule 609.7, “Sources of Damage.”
  • 120.8. If a source would deal 0 damage, it does not deal damage at all. That means abilities that trigger on damage being dealt won’t trigger. It also means that replacement effects that would increase the damage dealt by that source, or would have that source deal that damage to a different object or player, have no event to replace, so they have no effect.

From the glossary of the Comprehensive Rules (October 4, 2019—Throne of Eldraine)

Lethal Damage

An amount of damage greater than or equal to a creature’s toughness. See rules 120.6, 510.1, and 704.5g.

In Magic: The Gathering, a life total is a sort of score. Each player usually starts the game with 20 life points. Any increase in a player’s life total is considered to be gaining life. Any decrease in a player’s life total is considered to be losing life. A player whose life total drops to 0 or less loses. He or she is 'dead.'^[1] Life is a resource which typically needs to be tracked on a piece of paper or a life counter.

Life loss[editedit source]

Loss of life can occur from damage by unblocked creatures and direct damage from spells. Black will sometimes just make players lose life straight up without a drain effect.^[2] Examples of these include Blood Tribute, Burden of Greed, and Shadow Slice. Other black cards force one or more players to lose half their life total, or for a spell's caster to pay life as part of the cost of a spell or ability. Black also has numerous cards, such as Disciple of the Vault, that trigger life loss if a given action happens. However, R&D experimented with shifting away from life loss, in favor of direct damage, to trim out unnecessary complexity.^{[3][4][5][6][7]} Black reverted back to life loss in 2019.^[8][9]

There are spells which can prevent damage, but so far only Platinum Emperion can prevent the loss of life (although it also prevents paying life). To pay life is the same as losing life, and damage causes loss of life.

Life as a resource[editedit source]

Intentional life loss occurs when life is used as a resource.^[10] Famous examples of this include the Necropotence deck and Phyrexian mana.

Life gain[editedit source]

Mtg Does Dmg Cause Loss Of Life Work

Life gain directly opposes the game’s primary win condition.^[11][12] The earliest 'life gain' spells include Healing Salve, Lifetap, and Stream of Life. Stream of Life is notable for being the first gain X life spell. There were also 5 artifacts printed (dubbed the 'Lucky charms') which would give you 1 life each time a spell of the appropriate color was cast if you paid 1 (e.g., Ivory Cup).

Life gain occurs most prominently, and in all card types, in white.^[2] Green is number two in life gain. Green’s life gain is mostly either through sorceries (with the occasional instant) and creatures. Life gain in black is restricted to Drain Life-types of spells.^[2][13]Blue gets life temporarily (Illusions of Grandeur) and red can have life gain if there's a random element involved (Game of Chaos).

The biggest single-colored life gain spell (not ) is the card Heroes Remembered (gain 20 life) from Planar Chaos. The biggest multicolored life gain spell (not ) is the card Heroes' Reunion (gain 7 life) from Invasion.

Life, Life Total

Each player has an amount of “life,” represented by that player’s “life total.” Life may be gained or lost. See rule 119, “Life.”

From the Comprehensive Rules (October 4, 2019—Throne of Eldraine)

• 119.Life
  • 119.1. Each player begins the game with a starting life total of 20. Some variant games have different starting life totals.
    • 119.1a In a Two-Headed Giant game, each team’s starting life total is 30. See rule 810, “Two-Headed Giant Variant.”
    • 119.1b In a Vanguard game, each player’s starting life total is 20 plus or minus the life modifier of their vanguard card. See rule 902, “Vanguard.”
    • 119.1c In a Commander game, each player’s starting life total is 40. See rule 903, “Commander.”
    • 119.1d In a two-player Brawl game, each player’s starting life total is 25. In a multiplayer Brawl game, each player’s starting life total is 30. See rule 903.11, “Brawl Option.”
    • 119.1e In an Archenemy game, the archenemy’s starting life total is 40. See rule 904, “Archenemy.”
  • 119.2. Damage dealt to a player normally causes that player to lose that much life. See rule 120.3.
  • 119.3. If an effect causes a player to gain life or lose life, that player’s life total is adjusted accordingly.
  • 119.4. If a cost or effect allows a player to pay an amount of life greater than 0, the player may do so only if their life total is greater than or equal to the amount of the payment. If a player pays life, the payment is subtracted from their life total; in other words, the player loses that much life. (Players can always pay 0 life.)
    • 119.4a If a cost or effect allows a player to pay an amount of life greater than 0 in a Two-Headed Giant game, the player may do so only if their team’s life total is greater than or equal to the total amount of life both team members are paying for that cost or effect. If a player pays life, the payment is subtracted from their team’s life total. (Players can always pay 0 life.)
  • 119.5. If an effect sets a player’s life total to a specific number, the player gains or loses the necessary amount of life to end up with the new total.
  • 119.6. If a player has 0 or less life, that player loses the game as a state-based action. See rule 704.
  • 119.7. If an effect says that a player can’t gain life, that player can’t make an exchange such that the player’s life total would become higher; in that case, the exchange won’t happen. Similarly, if an effect redistributes life totals, a player can’t receive a new life total such that the player’s life total would become higher. In addition, a cost that involves having that player gain life can’t be paid, and a replacement effect that would replace a life gain event affecting that player won’t do anything.
  • 119.8. If an effect says that a player can’t lose life, that player can’t make an exchange such that the player’s life total would become lower; in that case, the exchange won’t happen. Similarly, if an effect redistributes life totals, a player can’t receive a new life total such that the player’s life total would become lower. In addition, a cost that involves having that player pay life can’t be paid.
  • 119.9. Some triggered abilities are written, “Whenever [a player] gains life, . . . .” Such abilities are treated as though they are written, “Whenever a source causes [a player] to gain life, . . . .” If a player gains 0 life, no life gain event has occurred, and these abilities won’t trigger.
  • 119.10. Some replacement effects are written, “If [a player] would gain life, . . . .” Such abilities are treated as though they are written, “If a source would cause [a player] to gain life, . . . .” If a player gains 0 life, no life gain event would occur, and these effects won’t apply.
