    Count the number of creatures your opponents control as Riot Control resolves to determine how much life you gain.

  • WotCApr 15, 2013

    Riot Control doesn't prevent combat damage that would be dealt to planeswalkers you control. It also doesn't prevent damage that would be dealt to creatures you control.
