Rulings

Oct 4, 2004

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

Oct 4, 2004

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

Aug 1, 2008

Simulacrum is the source of the damage. If an effect needs to know a characteristic of the damage’s source (Protection from Black, for instance), it will see the damage coming from Simulacrum.
