  3. 2017-07-14 · wotc — If multiple creatures block a creature with afflict, afflict triggers only once.
  4. 2017-07-14 · wotc — Afflict resolves before combat damage is dealt. If this loss of life brings a player to 0 life or less, that player loses the game immediately. A blocking creature with lifelink won't deal combat damage in time to save that player.
