Afflict causes the defending player to lose life; it's not damage or combat damage. |
| 7/14/2017 |
Afflict resolves before combat damage is dealt. If this loss of life brings a player to 0 life or less, that player loses the game immediately. A blocking creature with lifelink won't deal combat damage in time to save that player. |
