It hurts so bad when it resolves XS
Great for building around, though.

I have a quick ruling question for anyone glancing here. If your opponent is reduced to 0 life, do you automatically win, as in does it interrupt a spell that does multiple things. Like say you'd be at 0 or less life as well, and be forced to Sac a Platinum Angel by the subsequent effect. Just a question.

Penultimate, once Platinum Angel leaves play, you lose at the same time your opponent does. Life loss happens at the same time and before life gain, so if you can gain more life than your opponent and then cast Death Cloud for enough to kill off the opponent, your set.

But, remember that all the things stated in this card happen in order; so Life loss happens 1st (all players at the same time) then discarding (all players at the same time) then creatures and lands (all players at the same time) So, in theory, if you can keep Platinum Angel in play without any responses from your opponent before he/she loses x life (like, "In response to you casting Death Cloud, I'll kill your Platinum Angel"

@ izzet_guild_mage
Rule change.
When ever a creature has lifelink A.k.A. Vampiric Link That creatures controller would gain that life.

Also damage happens at the same time, so lifelink would go off first I think if you block a creature and have lifelink on it before you take lethal. IE: Wumcoil Engine blocks one of two goblins they are both 2/2 since blocks happen before damage is dealt to players you would gain the 6 before you would lose the 2. Really important when your the guy on 2 life.

I like Smallpox better. Yeah, it's smaller.


@ Penultimate & Dragek:

Penultimate's suggestion indeed would work! If the game is down to two players, and Penultimate plays this spell which causes his opponent's life to reach zero... it doesn't matter what else the spell requires to happen. Once his/her life reached zero, that opponent loses the game no matter what else is required. The spell's requirements state loss of life BEFORE a Platinum Angel would have to be sacrificed not the other way around. Yes, it does matter.

For example. Take Vampiric Link or Spirit Link. If either is attached to an opponent's creature who deals damage to you, it also causes you to gain that much life... if that creature, however, dealt enough damage to you cause your life to reach 0, you would lose the game immediately and not be able to gain that much life (as it would have also been required.)
