Can somebody please tell me where it says "You gain life equal to the damage dealt to you this turn." on ANY version of this card? I haven't found a single one representing this ability, yet it's stated everywhere on the internet. How am I supposed to convince my opponent that this is the case?

"Sanguine Bond! Souls of the Faultless! Tainted Sigil!" Screamed the Johnny within me. And then I built a white/black deck.

I saw no "rules" discussion on this card.

However, it seems to me you can cast this
card without having a creature in play.

It also seems to me, that you can use this
with say Sanguine Bond to create a reverse
damage.

Thoughts?

No need for Cho-Manno; this card combos with any creature that has Pro: Black.

@Fermidirac : simulacrum can't target a creature with protection from black, so there's no synergy.

@Hopgoblin.
The damage is still done to you over the course of the turn. Once you play this card it adds up all the damage you acquired since the last Beginning Phase (Untap, Upkeep, Draw). You GAIN the life from the damage you took. You had to take the damage for this to be affected. The only way to "retroactively apply" it would be for you to GAIN it back. Then all the added up damage is sent down to the creature targeted. If after this spell resolves, your opponent targeted you with Shock, you still receive this damage, and subsequently lose of life.

Damage prevention isn't something you see a lot of in black, so this gets points from me right away. If nothing else, it makes for a makeshift Fog.

It was a must have in my old early black decks, but it's probably unplayable now.
