Simulacrum Vs Commander damage?

Asked by Metroid_Hybrid 4 months ago

Say if someone were to receive (non-lethal) Commander damage, and then afterwards cast Simulacrum.

Simulacrum would recover the resulting loss of life, but what about the Commander damage? When I read the Oracle text, it sounds like it stays. Because there is no way to "heal" from Commander damage... right?

You have the right idea. The total Commander damage dealt to you would be unchanged. The current official text of Simulacrum is just a life gain effect plus a damage dealing effect. It doesn't go back in time and "undo" damage that was dealt to you, as the original printed text implies.
