(10/5/2018)
Deafening Clarion's second mode affects only creatures you control at the time it resolves. Creatures you begin to control later in the turn won't gain lifelink.
(10/5/2018)
A creature you control that's dealt lethal damage by Deafening Clarion's first mode will still be on the battlefield to gain lifelink from the spell's second mode before that creature dies.
