All Transcend abilities will be "20 or more life". At common there will be only one or two effects, but there will be others at higher rarities (on creatures and spells).
Yeah, I did consider other formats, but I decided in EDH and 2HG, using 20 life instead of starting life total would actually be better because a 1/1 is marginal anyway. I guess if I made more powerful transcend cards that might actually make lifegain a viable strategy in those formats, I'd have to switch back.

I think the general trend these days is to refer to starting life total, due to EDH and 2HG. Otherwise, I like it.

I suppose that as long as you stayed away from anything like Serra Ascendant, you would be okay.
