Title: Theft of Life
Post by: theasaris on December 17, 2016, 11:59:47 AM
The card says:

"The first time this creature is healed or regenerates each round, prevent 1 point of healing. Then, heal your Mage 1 damage."

What happens, when there is a Regrowth on Mage A, and Theft of Life on both mages A and B?

The way I see it:
- Mage A regenerates 1 instead of 2 damage from the Regrowth, because one point of healing is stolen by Mage B's Theft of Life on Mage A.
- Mage B heals 1 damage, but this is prevented by Mage A's Theft of Life on Mage B.
- Therefore Mage A heals another point of damage through Mage A's Theft of Life on Mage B.

Result: Effectively both Theft of Life cancel each other out and Mage A heals 2 damage.

Is this correct?

I remember playing a game were both mages had Regrowth and both had Theft of Life... It is a interesting/weird card.

It is an interesting interaction, it is not even a fringe use. This is a viable counter play when 2 warlocks face each other. The fact they both now have curses on them however makes for more interesting effects that chain off that sub-type.
