I played a celestial mantle on caravan hurda and got through to my opponent.
do i double my life before or after i gain 4 for lifelink?

Lifelink isn't a triggered ability anymore. Celestial Mantle's doubling effect is however.

So what happens when Hurda comes through is this:
It deals 4 damage and you gain 4 life and Celestial Mantle triggers.
You put the trigger on the stack.
If no player wants to react, resolve the trigger, and double your life total.

Thank you.


But while I'm at it...
If I play spreading seas on Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle, does it still have the ability to deal damage?

And...
If you play ricochet trap on archive trap, can you throw it back at the caster? Archive trap says "target opponent" so i think that would be illegal.

XANATOS YFEL: It becomes an island by default. Now does islands have any valakut abilities?

Thank you.
Would you guess i got another stupid question?
this one should be obvious but i don't know

if a noncreature becomes a creature, gets enchanted with, say, Unstable Mutation, what happens to the aura and -1/-1 counters when it reverts back to noncreature?

The aura pops off but the counters stay.
