Minwu, White Mage 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
Vigilance, lifelink Whenever you gain life, put a +1/+1 counter on each Cleric you control.
How it works : Minwu, White Mage
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
If Minwu or another Cleric you control is dealt lethal damage at the same time that you gain life, it will die before Minwu's last ability would resolve.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Minwu's last ability triggers just once for each life-gaining event, whether it's 1 life from Al Bhed Salvagers or 3 life from Balamb T-Rexaur.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
If you gain an amount of life "for each" of something or "equal to the number" of something, that life is gained as one event and Minwu's last ability triggers only once.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
In a Two-Headed Giant game, life gained by your teammate won't cause Minwu's last ability to trigger, even though it caused your team's life total to increase.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #5· Wizards of the Coast
Each creature with lifelink dealing combat damage causes a separate life-gaining event. For example, if two creatures you control with lifelink deal combat damage at the same time, Minwu's last ability will trigger twice. However, if a single creature you control with lifelink deals combat damage to multiple creatures, players, planeswalkers, and/or battles at the same time (perhaps because it has trample or was blocked by more than one creature), the ability will trigger only once.
No other card is named in this ruling.
