    Deathtouch Whenever another creature you control dies, you gain life equal to its toughness. Whenever you gain life, each opponent loses 1 life.

    Snake-Eyes's gift takes others back to their worst memory. To the weak, it is a curse; to the wise, a second chance.

    South Wind Avatar's last ability triggers just once for each life-gaining event, whether it's 1 life from Illegitimate Business or 3 life from Guac & Marshmallow Pizza.

    Each creature with lifelink dealing combat damage causes a separate life-gaining event. For example, if two creatures you control with lifelink deal combat damage at the same time, South Wind Avatar's last ability will trigger twice. However, if a single creature you control with lifelink deals combat damage to multiple creatures, players, planeswalkers, and/or battles at the same time (perhaps because it has trample or was blocked by more than one creature), the ability will trigger only once.

    Use the creature's toughness as it last existed on the battlefield to determine how much life you gain with South Wind Avatar's second ability.
