Rulings

  • 2026-08-21

    If an Angel you control is dealt lethal damage at the same time that you gain life, it won't receive a counter from Lyra's ability in time to save it.

  • 2026-08-21

    If more than one creature you control with lifelink deals combat damage at the same time, Lyra's last ability will trigger once for each of those creatures.
