Critical Rulings

"This is not damage prevention or redirection. It actually is life gain and newly dealt damage."

— 2004-10-04

"You can't use Simulacrum on Loss of Life, just damage."

— 2004-10-04

"Simulacrum is the source of the damage. If an effect needs to know a characteristic of the damage's source, it will see the damage coming from Simulacrum."
