Lifelink is a keyword ability introduced in Future Sight. Damage dealt by a source with lifelink causes that source’s controller to gain that much life
Description
Future Sight hinted at a lot of things from Magic's potential future on its futureshifted cards. For lIfelink, that future was the very next set released, Tenth Edition. This ability can be traced back to the card El-Hajjâj in Arabian Nights. [1]
Trivia
The vigilance, lifelink, and fear keywords are the only keywords with a card of the exact name (Vigilance, Lifelink and Fear respectively). Flying comes close, with the card called Flight.
Rules
Lua error in Module:CR at line 549: Unknown error, multiple lookups .
Rulings
- The ability causes life gain whenever a permanent with lifelink deals any damage, not combat damage.
- All older cards with the ability "Whenever this permanent deals damage, you gain that much life." that received errata to change that ability to "lifelink" have reverted to their original wording with the exception of Loxodon Warhammer, which was been printed with the word "lifelink" in 10th Edition and two subsequent reprintings.
- Note that the card Spirit Link does not grant the creature it enchants lifelink. The lifelink ability has the creature's controller gain life. Spirit Link has Spirit Link's controller gain life. The same is true for Vampiric Link.
Reminder text
The latest reminder text for Lifelink reads "Damage dealt by the creature also causes its controller to gain that much life."
Example
Enchantments that grant just Lifelink
One creature
