Official rulings

Two official rulings apply to Eternal Thirst, newest first.

  • If the enchanted creature is dealt lethal damage at the same time as a creature an opponent controls, they’re destroyed at the same time. It won’t receive a +1/+1 counter from its ability in time to save it.
  • Multiple instances of lifelink on the same creature are redundant.
