About Sanguine Bond

Sanguine Bond, Enchantment, designed by Jaime Jones first released in Jul, 2009 in the set Magic 2010 and was printed exactly in 10 different ways. It see play in 2 formats: Commander and Casual. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 2.22. It's a key card in 8 combos.

A deck that focuses on gaining life consistently, such as a lifelink-heavy deck or a deck with cards like Ajani's Pridemate or Sorin, Vengeful Bloodlord, would greatly benefit from including Sanguine Bond. While Sanguine Bond can create a powerful life-draining combo, there are better cards like Exquisite Blood that can create an infinite life drain loop when paired with Sanguine Bond. However, Sanguine Bond can still be a strong inclusion in decks that aim to drain opponents' life totals quickly and efficiently, making it a viable option for certain strategies in Magic: The Gathering.

Rules

03/19/21

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, Sanguine Bond’s ability will trigger twice and you may choose a different opponent for each trigger. However, if a single creature you control with lifelink deals combat damage to multiple creatures, players, and/or planeswalkers at the same time (perhaps because it has trample or was blocked by more than one creature), the ability will trigger only once.

10/01/09

Sanguine Bond’s ability triggers just once for each life-gaining event, whether it’s 1 life from Soul Warden or 8 life from Tendrils of Corruption.
