## Official Rulings
- *(2007-02-01)* If you double a negative life total, you do the real math. A life total of -10 becomes -20.
- *(2007-07-15)* If a Beacon is countered or doesn’t resolve, it’s put into its owner’s graveyard, not shuffled into the library.
- *(2007-07-15)* Beacon of Immortality’s effect counts as life gain (or life loss, if the life total was negative) for effects that trigger on or replace life gain (or life loss).
