Drain Soul, Stranglevine and gain Life +X

Yes, the order of the two sentences is what makes me believe they're related. It's not much, but there also isn't much there to make me think they aren't related.

Fair enough. I don't really have any other argument to contribute or counter your interpretation, though I am still satisfied with my own, so we will have to just agree to disagree until we hear an official answer.

[webcatcher]

Absolutely.

It is not cumulative. Its life is increased by two for every crush counter on it. It does not compound.

Looks like I had it wrong. Thanks for the clarification.

I just need to be sure.

Round 1 I cast Strangelvine    , pay 0 upkeep LIFE:    6
Round 2 I put one crush token, pay 1 upkeep LIFE:   6 + (2*1=2) = 8 LIFE
Round 3 I put one crush token, pay 2 upkeep LIFE:   8 + (2*2=4) = 12 LIFE
Round 4 I put one crush token, pay 3 upkeep LIFE: 12 + (2*3=6) = 18 LIFE

OR

Round 1 I cast Strangelvine    , pay 0 upkeep LIFE:    6
Round 2 I put one crush token, pay 1 upkeep LIFE:   6 + 2 for each token = 8 LIFE
Round 3 I put one crush token, pay 2 upkeep LIFE:   8 + 2 for each token = 10 LIFE
Round 4 I put one crush token, pay 3 upkeep LIFE: 10 + 2 for each token = 12 LIFE

I know the right answer but in our gaming group, there are people that can still interpreted it in different way

Thx

The second method has the total LIFE correct. However, based on the card text this would be a more accurate calculation showing that the base LIFE doesn't change. The crush tokens just accumulate on top of the base.

Round 1 I cast Strangelvine    , pay 0 upkeep LIFE:   6
Round 2 I put one crush token, pay 1 upkeep LIFE:   6 + (2*1=2) = 8 LIFE
Round 3 I put one crush token, pay 2 upkeep LIFE:   6 + (2*2=4) = 10 LIFE
Round 4 I put one crush token, pay 3 upkeep LIFE:   6 + (2*3=6) = 12 LIFE
