Description
**Description:**
Arcbond + lifelink not triggering correctly if the creature dies. Although this could be how mtg is expected to work, but I'm unsure
**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Have Arcbond + A creature with lifelink on the board. Opponent is attacking with a creature with enough damage to kill lifelink creature
2. Cast Arcbond, targeting lifelink creature, and declare lifelink creature
3. Assign damage step: Lifelink creature dies to attacker
4. Arcbond trigger goes on the stack
5. Stack resolves, Lifelink creature dead and no longer on board, due to state-based actions
6. Lifelink creature deals damage to each other creature and each player
7. No lifelink health gain triggered from arcbond triggered damage
**Expected behavior**
Expectation is that, even though the creature is in the graveyard, it is still dealing the damage, and arcbond uses the last "known" information of the lifelink creature. Ergo, the damage it deals would trigger the lifelink effect
