Card Rulings
2018-03-16Fortune Thief doesn't change how much damage is dealt; it just changes how much life that damage makes you lose. Abilities such as lifelink will see the full amount of damage being dealt.
2018-03-16Fortune Thief won't prevent you from losing the game if your life total becomes 0 or less or if some other effect causes you to lose the game.
2018-03-16Fortune Thief's effect applies only if your life total is being reduced by damage. Other effects or costs (such as losing or paying life) can reduce your life total below 1 as normal.
2018-03-16Fortune Thief's effect is not a prevention effect. It stops unpreventable damage from reducing your life total below 1.
2018-03-16If your life total is less than 1 but you've somehow avoided losing the game, Fortune Thief's effect won't apply at all if you're dealt damage.
