What happens if I cast Reanimate targeting Platinum Emperion? Do I lose the 8 life, or is it on the field with its static effect active before life loss occurs?
When resolving a spell or ability, you follow its instructions in the order they’re printed. In the case of Reanimate, Platinum Emperion will be returned to the battlefield by the time you’re instructed to lose life, but Platinum Emperion has locked your life total already and protects you from the life loss.
