    If you gain life during a turn before Vanguard Seraph is on the battlefield, its last ability won't trigger that turn even if you gain life again later in the turn.

  • WotCNov 8, 2024

    Vanguard Seraph's last ability triggers just once for your first life-gaining event on each turn, no matter how much life you gain.
