Who doesn't want a four turn death counter once it's activated. In a deck that focuses on lifegain, this isn't too hard to pull off.

First thing I thought when I saw this double card:
Hufflepuff's Cup. Voldemort. HORCRUX DECK! Phylactery Lich....doing it.

There are TWO certainties in life. Death and Taxes.
THIS just put my life gain deck over the top. The deck had problem because of the lack of evasion. This solves that problem.

Happy chalice is happy, but then you drink all the liquid and it wants it back! But since it doesn't transform back, I guess it requires much more than any regular planeswalker can give it.

Commander Review: The gain 1 life part is of course pointless. The lose life part... If you have a Commander that gains life efficiently, then this is ok. In all other cases, it sucks. Simply because you'd have to run a lot of lifegain in Commander to make sure this thing works. Another problem is that it's quite simple to stop, not only by artifact removal, but also by hitting you with a few creatures. And last but not least, it has no impact whatsoever on your opponents board position. Oh, and of course lifegain is worse in Commander than in many other formats, because of the additional lose condition of Commander Damage.
So, 2.5/5 if you run a lifegain commander such as Treva, and 0.5/5 in all other cases.

@dberry02: Doesn't work, you copy the day side of a flip card.

I don't understand the flavor at all. What is it trying to convey? That if you drink from it enough and become invigorated enough, you'll be able to make other people die with it?
...Anyways, it's an interesting card, I haven't seen another quite like it. I have 3 of them now, one Foil. It makes me want to try something other than Standard so that I can try this strange thing out. Seems like a great finisher for lifegain decks. Get your life up, and then end it. Rather than just riding out your 800,000 lifepoints slowly and using "plenty of time" as your wincon.
