Settima Edizione (Uncommon) |
Enchant creature (Target a creature as you cast this. This card enters the battlefield attached to that creature.) Whenever enchanted creature deals damage, you gain that much life. |
- You only gain life for damage which is not prevented regardless of what the creature damages (player or another creature) or the toughness of the blocking creature. If you put Spirit Link on a Shivan Dragon and it is blocked by a Scryb Sprites, you still gain 5 life points. If the Sprite has Protection from Red, you gain zero life since the protection reduces the damage to zero. [bethmo 1994/07/08]
- If a creature has more than one Spirit Link on it, they all work. [Aahz 1994/07/15]
- Works for damage due to combat or due to any special ability of the creature. For example, you would get one life for tapping a Prodigal Sorcerer to do damage. [Duelist Magazine #2, Page 9] Note that this is great for creatures which damage you, such as not paying the Force of Nature's upkeep, since you will get as much life as you take in damage.
- Damage that is redirected is not considered successfully dealt to the original creature or player, but it may be successful in damaging the new creature or player. [D'Angelo 1998/02/03]
- You only gain the life when the triggered ability resolves. If you are reduced to zero life before the ability resolves, you will lose before gaining the life. For example, if the creature with Spirit Link on it attacks you dealing 3 damage when you have just 3 life, you will take 3 damage and lose before the triggered ability can resolve. [D'Angelo 2003/05/16]
- Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
- Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" until Ninth Edition and Oracle 2005/08/01.

- If this effect is applied when you lose life due to unprevented damage. All the damage got dealt (for purposes of triggers), but the player's life total is not reduced by the full amount of the damage. [WotC Rules Team 1998/10/18]
- It reduces your life total to 1, not the damage to 1. [D'Angelo 1999/01/23]
- It does not do anything to prevent or modify loss of life from anything other than unprevented damage. A spell or ability that causes loss of life directly (without causing damage) is applied as normal. [D'Angelo 2003/09/08]

- If the spell is countered, it still counts as the one spell played. [D'Angelo 1998/10/19]
- When it enters play, it will look back over the turn to see if any spell was cast before it entered play. [DeLaney 1998/10/17] It will notice itself being played. [D'Angelo 1998/10/22]

| Change the target of target spell with a single target. |
- Only targets the spell being Deflected and not the original or new target of the spell it is affecting. [Aahz 1995/07/09]
- You choose the spell to target on announcement, but you pick the new target for that spell on resolution. [bethmo 1999/11/30]
- You cannot make a spell which is on the stack target itself. Thus, you cannot make Counterspell target itself or make another Deflection target itself. [D'Angelo 1999/12/07]
- You can choose to make a spell on the stack target the Deflection you are playing (if such a target choice would be legal had the spell be cast while Deflection was on the stack). The new target for the Deflected spell is not chosen until Deflection resolves. Deflection is still on the stack when new targets are selected for the spell. [D'Angelo 2000/06/20]
- Once Deflection resolves, the new target is considered to be targeted by the deflected spell. This will trigger any effects, such as Skulking Ghost, which trigger on being targeted. [bethmo 1997/08/08]
- A Counterspell can be changed to target something that is further down the stack (meaning the target will resolve before the Counterspell does). [D'Angelo 2000/05/20]

- If you play Mana Short in response to a spell, it will have no effect on that spell since the mana has already been paid. [D'Angelo 1996/11/08]
- Since this is an instant, your opponent may use instants in response to the casting of this spell. Note that such spells and abilities will be resolved before the mana pool is emptied by the Mana Short. [bethmo 1994/06/01] This makes it useless as a countermeasure for spells. To use it effectively, you need to use it during Upkeep and even then it will not prevent the use of instant spells and abilities.

[Duelist Magazine #16, Page 25] The turn is not "saved" by the Time Vault, so when you use the Vault, that turn does not have the Final Fortune disadvantage. [Duelist Magazine #16, Page 25]
- If multiple "extra turn" effects resolve in the same turn, take them in the reverse of the order that the effects resolved. [CompRules 2002/02/20 - 300.6] See Rule 300.6.

- If a creature has a cost that must be paid in order to attack or block, it need only pay once to attack in any other combats that turn. [WotC Rules Team 1997/03/14] This is true even if the wording on the card makes it sound otherwise.
- Abilities that trigger when a creature attacks, blocks, or is blocked will trigger during each combat that turn. Thus, a creature with Rampage will get the bonus added during each attack. [WotC Rules Team 1997/03/14]

For example, you do not need to power a Goblin Balloon Brigade to block a flying creature with Lure, but if you do power it, the Brigade must block.

- If Infernal Harvest is the last card in your hand and it is announced, Maro doesn't die. This is because the Swamps return to your hand as a cost and are in your hand before state-based effects are checked. [Jordan 2001/12/16]
- His toughness is checked as a state-based effect (see Rule 420). This happens right before a player gains priority to play a spell or ability. If a spell had your number of cards go to zero during the middle of resolution, but you did not have zero when the spell ended, then Maro would live. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]
