Lifeline is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
Whenever a creature dies, if another creature is on the battlefield, return the first card to the battlefield under its owner's control at the beginning of the next end step.
How it works : Lifeline
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
If more than one creature is on the battlefield and all the creatures on the battlefield go to the graveyard at once, then none of them are returned at end of turn. This is because Lifeline’s ability has an intervening-if clause, which means that there must be at least one creature on the battlefield at the time the ability resolves.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
It fails to bring the creature back if the creature is not still in the graveyard at the end of turn.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
It works for all players and has errata to remove the “your graveyard” text.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
The creature comes back even if Lifeline leaves the battlefield after triggering, but before it resolves.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #5· Wizards of the Coast
If multiple creatures are coming back, they come back one at a time, not all at once. This is because Lifeline triggered once for each creature and set up a separate “at end of turn” effect for each.
No other card is named in this ruling.
