Rulings (2)
- While resolving Starseer Mentor’s last ability, the target opponent chooses a card to be discarded without revealing it, chooses a nonland permanent to be sacrificed, or chooses to do neither. Then that player discards that card, sacrifices that permanent, or loses 3 life. That player can always choose to lose 3 life, even if they have cards to discard or nonland permanents to sacrifice.
- Starseer Mentor’s ability cares whether you gained or lost life this turn, not how your life total changed. For example, if you gained 2 life and lost 2 life in the same turn, you still gained and lost life that turn, even though your life total is the same as it was at the start of the turn.
