    Certain Death

    Illustrated by Kev Walker

    EDHREC Rank #24,937
    Destroy target creature. Its controller loses 2 life and you gain 2 life.

    Some spirits cling to one person, feasting on the growing fear until a final moment of all-consuming terror.

    Rulings (2)

    If the creature becomes an illegal target for Certain Death, no player gains or loses life. If it’s a legal target but isn’t destroyed, most likely due to having indestructible, its controller still loses 2 life and you gain 2 life.

    The targeted creature will have already left the battlefield before its controller loses 2 life and you gain 2 life. If it has any abilities that care about gaining or losing life, they won’t apply.
