Kind of funny when you realize that this ability isn't green or blue, really. I'd think color shifting it to black would make more sense... the color it probably should have been in from the beginning. I know Planar Chaos has a few of those... like Merfolk Thermaturgist and Fa'adiyah Seer. I don't see why this set can't feature the occasional card that fixes the color pie.

Black lifegain IMO only works as a form of drain to creatures or other players (cf. Extort, lifelink...). Generic lifegain, however, is shared by white and green, and I'll admit this particular effect feels a bit more white than green to me.

Oh, you know, now that I look at it you're right. I saw "Psychic Transfer in Green" and just assumed it was reducing your opponent's life total in the process. It isn't. Now I feel silly.
