    If Lord of the Pit has gained lifelink, being dealt 7 damage by it doesn’t cause your life total to change, even though you gain and lose life. If your life total is less than 7, you won’t lose the game.

  • WotCNov 17, 2017

    If you control any other creatures as Lord of the Pit’s triggered ability resolves, you must sacrifice one. You can’t choose to be dealt 7 damage instead.

  • WotCNov 17, 2017

    If you have two Lords of the Pit, you can sacrifice them to each other.
