2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2019-05-03
Spells and abilities that cause opponents to gain life still resolve while Tibalt is on the battlefield. No opponent will gain life, but any other effects of that spell or ability will happen.
- 2019-05-03
If an effect says to set an opponent's life total to a number that's higher than their current life total while Tibalt is on the battlefield, the player's life total doesn't change.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
