If Lord of the Pit has gained lifelink, being dealt 7 damage by it doesn’t cause your life total to change, even though you gain and lose life. If your life total is less than 7, you won’t lose the game.

wotc·Nov 17, 2017

If you have two Lords of the Pit, you can sacrifice them to each other.

wotc·Nov 17, 2017
