    If Screaming Nemesis is dealt damage by multiple sources at once, such as by two creatures blocking it, its last ability triggers once and one target is dealt that much damage.

  • WotCSep 20, 2024

    If an effect says to set a player's life total to a number that's higher than their current life total while they're affected by Screaming Nemesis's last ability, their life total won't change.

  • WotCSep 20, 2024

    If lethal damage is dealt to Screaming Nemesis, its last ability still triggers.

  • WotCSep 20, 2024

    Once Screaming Nemesis's last ability causes it to deal damage to a player, that player won't be able to gain life for the rest of the game. It doesn't matter if Screaming Nemesis remains on the battlefield or not.

  • WotCSep 20, 2024

    Spells and abilities that cause a player affected by Screaming Nemesis's last ability to gain life still resolve. That player won't gain life, but any other effects of that spell or ability will happen.
