Rulings

This is not damage prevention or redirection. It actually is life gain and newly dealt damage.

You can't use Simulacrum on Loss of Life, just damage.

Simulacrum is the source of the damage. If an effect needs to know a characteristic of the damage's source, it will see the damage coming from Simulacrum.
