{Blood Artist}
I have 5 life. My opponent has a Blood Artist on the field. He attacks with 2 creatures. I block with 3, enough to kill his guys, and have gain 5 from lifelink. However, my guys die, too. So, 5 will die. Due to the Artist, I take 5 on their death. So, all damage is dealt simultaniously, they all die at the same time, and Artists ability is on the stack. Do I gain the lifelink life before those abilities resolve?
You gain the life as soon as damage is dealt.
To be more specific during the combat phase after blockers are declared damage is assigned you will still lose the life but since you assigned lifelink damage you gain that life before the creature "dies"
