Rulings
- 2012-05-01 · Wizards of the Coast
If you and an opponent both lose life simultaneously, and this causes your life total to become 0 or less, you'll lose the game before Exquisite Blood's triggered ability can resolve. - 2012-05-01 · Wizards of the Coast
Damage dealt to an opponent usually causes that opponent to lose life. An opponent paying life also causes loss of life.
