For chalice of life do you have to gain life with the tap ability or can you gain the 10 life any way you can?

I just thought if the art work was like the angel and demon flip art where you have and image and upside down has another like a 2 sided cup shaped like an hour glass. It also would have been neat if depending on life and death depened on if you drank from the upside or downside. Ambiguity is similar when looked upside down you see a another image. Regardless I still think it looks great.

It is good that the transformation only happens upon drinking from the cup. So if you congregate, you still can't hit them until the turn after, giving them a little space. I guess you wait for your opponent to pass the turn to you, cast congregate, activate the chalice, and then you are only a few phases away from nailing them with this.
What is the flavor though? Why does drinking from it enough turn it to poison? And why does your enemy keep drinking the cup you offer to them after it messed him up so much the first time?

At a limited tournament, my opponent played this and I laughed. By the end of that game, I did not have the last laugh.

I pulled this along with a couple of Gnaw to the Bone cards in a sealed 40-card that I'm playing in right now. I loaded my deck with mostly creatures and flashback cards -and lots of cards that force me dump cards into the graveyard. As long as the card comes up, it's pretty much easy mode to get the needed lifegain and then decimate the other guy.

This is a nice little addition to modern Soul Sisters. Use the lifegain for instant speed +1/+1 counters on your Ajani's Pridemate, and then flip it over to make your deck aggressive.

If this card (or any double-sided card) has transformed.... when does it transform back?

@Nordhri
A two-face card will only transform back if something (like an ability on itself) says so. Werewolves, Civilized Scholar and Screeching Bat are the only ones with "transform back" abilities, all others simply stay on the night side for as long as they are on the battlefield.
So, if you want to 'reset' the Chalice, you need to move it to another zone (destroying it, exiling, returning to hand) first.
