Gwaihir, Greatest of the Eagles's ability looks at how much life you've gained in the turn, even if it wasn't on the battlefield when you gained life. It doesn't care if you also lost life, even if you lost more life than you gained. - 2023-06-16 · Wizards of the Coast
You create just one Bird token, no matter how much life you've gained past 3 life. - 2023-06-16 · Wizards of the Coast
