Is what you would expect from amythic demon honestly. It seems like it could have been printed in a normal set. Tough i guess the teams sharing life will take more damage from this guy i supose.
So in twin headed giant, the opposing team takes a hit from this guy. At the end of the turn, both of them lose an extra 6, right? Because damage is dealt to both members of a team? Turning your damage into triple strike is pretty dope in team formats.
In what universe? If you build a deck like that, and ever draw that hand, I will personally come to wherever you live, perform complicated acts of awestruck ********, then disembowel myself to escape the world that allowed something like this to occur and validate you.

It probably could have. I don't think every card in this set needs to be geared to 2HG, even if the majority are. Some can simply be good cards that have a little extra bonus for the purposes of 2HG, but otherwise solid.
Boy, Necropotence and pay enough life, opponents will lose that much all together.
I think you misread it. Not too cool with these downsideless demons (The consummate demon card IMO is Reaper from the Abyss, because he must kill a non-Demon creature. It doesn't say it has to be an opponent's creature. Of course demons are creatures of fine print.), but at eight mana? I'll just pretend that cost is his downside.

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!

You're right, I misread it, not as powerful as I thought.

Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
Did cyberium_neo have it right the first time? Does each opponent lose life equal to the life lost by the active player that turn or that the opponent themselves lost? My guess would be the active player, so Necropotence would work as a combo

Nope. The "That" in the wording refers to the opponent referenced earlier. So it's Wound Reflection.

You don't call "dying to removal" if the removal is more expensive in resources than the creature. If you have to spend BG (Abrupt Decay), or W + basic land (PtE) to remove a 1G, that is not "dying to removal". Strictly speaking Goyf dies to removal, but actually your removal is dying to Goyf.

No, it says "that player," which, aligning with regular MTG syntax for all other similar effects, means it applies to your opponents for their own life losses. The text leaves no space for it to be interpreted any other way. cyberium_neo misread the card, plain and simple. He even admitted it.

"It is better for all the world if, instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes... Three generations of imbeciles are enough."

Not doubting you, I miss those things a lot. Just annoyed it doesn’t say “they” like the oracle text for Wound Reflection
It would be a very different card if it was the active player. Not necessarily worse, but it would reward the controller for paying life and double punish other people for paying life. Could be a cool card to make some day.

I mean, the majority of cards would be that, yeah. A card here and there isn't the same as the sets feel overall.
