Official rulings
Two official rulings apply to Lyra Dawnbringer, newest first.
- Because damage remains marked on a creature until it's removed as the turn ends, nonlethal damage dealt to an Angel you control may become lethal if Lyra leaves the battlefield during that turn.
- Multiple instances of lifelink on the same creature are redundant.
