This current wording doesn't work (and obviously V's doesn't either - "dies" is not an instruction you can make a creature do). dude1818's wording is how an editor would put it.
I don't think it's terrible, but it's unintuitive. I just meant that you go from talking about "each creature" to "its controller," which doesn't make sense as written
I knew there was a blue-red version of this already (in fact my vague memory of it was a partial inspration), but didn't recall it was rare. Makes me feel like I low-balled the rarity.

Maybe swap the order around? "Each creature with power greater than normal deals the difference to its controller, then dies."

Is it bad this causes life loss even for creatures with indestructible?
Tense?
"For each creature destroyed this way, its controller..."
The change in tense is jarring

Yeah, wraith really doesn't deserve to be a creature type. It could totally be absorbed into spirit or shade
I actually like this with ability counters:
> "..., put a menace counter on up to one target Swamp. It becomes a 3/3 black Wraith creature. It's still a land."

now life gain before damage
common >> uncommon

Yay, it's Cerebral Vortex!
I had an old deck using Teferi's Puzzle Box and Wheel and Deal to kill people with Cerebral Vortex. It was hilarious.
