Rulings
- October 4, 2004 — You can't use Simulacrum on Loss of Life, just damage.
- October 4, 2004 — This is not damage prevention or redirection. It actually is life gain and newly dealt damage.
- August 1, 2008 — 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.
