What activates first lifelink or damage ability?
Asked by Jimmy_Jamone 6 years ago
In a theory, if I controlled a Vicious Conquistador and my opponent controlled a Bishop's Soldier and my opponent had only 1 health remaining. When I attack with my Vicious Conquistador and he blocks with his Bishop's Soldier what will happen?
a. Will my opponent die, since Vicious Conquistador ability triggers when attacking and deals 1 damage killing my opponent before he gets to block with Bishop's Soldier and retrieve 2 health from lifelink?
b. Will my opponent survive? Vicious Conquistador's ability only triggers when it has dealt damage and when blocked by Bishop's Soldier opponent receives 2 heal from lifelink?
How does this sequencing work?

Can you show me any official rules so I can taunt my friend that I won?

A.
Blocks are declared after attacks are made (and abilities triggered by attacks have all resolved).
