Notably, the ability granted by the second mode isn’t lifelink. It’s a triggered ability that triggers whenever the creature with that ability deals damage. If that creature also has lifelink, you’ll gain life as a result of that damage and also when the triggered ability resolves. Multiple instances of this ability trigger separately.
- WotCJun 7, 2013
Only creatures you control when Stir the Pride resolves will get the bonuses.
