Fuuuunky.

Glad you like it - just popped into my head whilst I was catching the train home.Only change I made was Exchange instead of Swap to bring it in line with Oracle wording on similar cards.

Annoyingly "1 life" makes it seem too similar to Near-Death Experience, but I agree they would both play well in different ways (and I'm amused how it fits nicely into both w and b :)).

Yeah, most of the life swap is white but this also feels kinda like 'target player loses X life and you gain X life' which is why I wnet with the Hybrid version.

I could change it to "if you have 2 life or less" but the 1 life swap is just cooler.

In playtest with this in a multiplayer, it was cast by one player, Twincast by another and Reverberated by yet another - hilarity and confusion ensued :-)
