The third member of the DethroneBackground cycle is so far the only one that directly addresses the life total of said player with highest life total. That "highest life total" throne may not last very long.
Anybody here know why they opt for the more complicated "if no opponent has more life than that player" instead of the plain and straightforward "if that player has the most life" ?

The big reason is that dethrone didn't work if you, yourself, had the most life and these guys work even if you have the most life of all players. A definite upgrade
How on Terra are new players supposed to learn this game ?
One of the problems in original Cosnpiracy (where dethrone came from) is players tended to forget until blockers are declared that dethrone turns off if you have the highest life total. Sometimes more words avoid unintuitive gotcha moments.

The other equally wordy variant could have been, "Whenever you attack the opponent with the highest life total or tied for the highest life total..."
