• 2025-09-19: The amount of life you lose is determined by the mana value of the card in your graveyard, not the creature once it's on the battlefield.
• 2025-09-19: You lose life after the creature is already on the battlefield. Any abilities it has that interact with loss of life, such as that of Platinum Emperion, apply to that loss of life.
