2- Bellow ruling doesn't work:

Which card did behave improperly?

Manalink only checks for life being zero or less at the end of phases, per the fourth-edition era rules, so ruling two affects many cards and situations. (Being attacked by a creature that you've enchanted with Spirit Link is the canonical example.) Fixing it for just this one card doesn't make any sense.
