G.29 - Regeneration
+ G.29.Ruling.5 - None of the effects of regeneration (tapping and having
    damage removed) happen unless the replacement actually takes place and
    that only happens if the creature would have been destroyed.  See
    Rule G.29.3. [D'Angelo 00/12/07]

T.8 - Continuous Effects
+ T.8.3 - A continuous effect generated by the resolution of a spell or 
    ability will "lock in" any variables and calculations when it resolves. 
    [CompRules 99/04/23]  For example, "target creature gets +X/+X until end
    of turn, where X is the number of cards in your hand" counts the cards in
    your hand when the spell resolves.  The bonus is not recalculated if your
    hand size changes.  Similarly, an effect which calculates a value, such as
    double or half of something, or which is limited in some way (as with 
    Blood Lust) also gets locked in this way and does not change later
    even if other effects change. [CompRules 99/11/01]
