Hello, I was playing some meme deck I created on MTG Arena and at some point of the match I had Thousand-Year Storm with already like 10 spells played before that turn so my next spell (Revival // Revenge) would trigger a lot of times, giving me an insane amount of life but big was the surprise when after casting it and it resolved, my opponent died at 0 life when I had 320 life (I started at 10 life so only 5 spells on the stack resolved). The description of Revenge says rounded up, so i assumed that my opponent would never died from this since the lowest amount of life he can get is 1 and 1/2 is 0.5 which rounded up is 1. He died.
Can you explain the mechanics of this "rounded up" function please?
Cheers.

You're misreading the card. What's being rounded up is the amount of life lost - so, if they are at 1, Revenge rounds the .5 to 1, killing them.
Edit for clarification: The way the card is worded, it would have to round DOWN to do what you expected, so that when it reaches dropping your opponent's life by .5, it rounds to 0. Instead, it is rounding the amount it takes at 1 UP, to 1.
