Official card text
Flying, lifelink Healing Tears — At the beginning of your end step, return target creature card with mana value X or less from your graveyard to the battlefield, where X is the amount of life you gained this turn.
How it works : Celestine, the Living Saint
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Celestine's triggered ability looks at the total amount of life you gained to determine X, regardless of whether or not you also lost any life. For example, if you gained 3 life this turn, X is 3, even if you also lost some amount of life in the same turn.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
The target creature card is chosen as the triggered ability is put on the stack. Gaining life after that point won't let you choose a target with a higher mana value.
No other card is named in this ruling.
