    Damage dealt to an opponent usually causes that opponent to lose life. An opponent paying life also causes loss of life.

  • WotCMay 1, 2012

    If you and an opponent both lose life simultaneously, and this causes your life total to become 0 or less, you'll lose the game before Exquisite Blood's triggered ability can resolve.
