    If you didn't gain life during the turn before the end step begins, Resplendent Angel's triggered ability won't trigger at all. Gaining life during the end step won't cause the ability to trigger.

  • WotCJul 13, 2018

    In a Two-Headed Giant game, life gained by your teammate won't satisfy Resplendent Angel's triggered ability, even though it caused your team's life total to increase.

  • WotCJul 13, 2018

    Resplendent Angel's triggered ability checks if you gained 5 or more life total during the turn. It doesn't matter if you also lost life or whether your life total is greater than it was at the beginning of the turn. It also doesn't matter whether Resplendent Angel was on the battlefield when any of the life gain happened.

  • WotCJul 13, 2018

    You create only one Angel token, no matter how many times you gained 5 or more life.

  • WotCJul 13, 2018

    You don't need to have gained 5 life all at once to satisfy Resplendent Angel's triggered ability.
