Crazy fun card in EDH. Especially after an Exsanguinate

This is fun, but I think it's too expensive to use regularly.

So you can't make someone's life 1? Why does it say "redistribute" instead of "swap" or "switch"?

Elder Dragon Highlander all the way. "I'll be at 125, and you'll all be at 1. Now fight amongst yourselves over last place."

This card is seriously not that hard to understand. If you get confused by it you're retarded.

My friend used to love this card in multiplayer games, mostly because he misunderstood the card. He would give himself almost all the life and leave everyone else at 1 — after all, the card said that each player got one life total back. When I (with my two weeks of experience) pointed out that the card said to redistribute life totals and not points, he promptly took out his copy of the card, read it, and realized that he was wrong. This card isn't nearly as good as people think it is, even with its real ruling.

As I have ubderstood it, you exchange the life totals of all players, for example in a 4 player game:
1st player has 43 life
2nd player has 36 life
3rd player has 33 life
and you have 28 life
(somehow)
You want the 1st one to have 28 life total,
2nd to have 33,
3rd to have 46 life and
yourself to have 43 life.
Is that how it works?

Kamigawa had so many cool and creative cards like this and Hidetsugu's Second Rite, but it supposedly had a low power level, so people disliked it...I think that it was because no one could pronounce the names...I mean, Arashi, the Sky Asunder? It's a pretty good card, but who can actually remember its name?

EDH is where this card belongs, especially in a deck which is slow to start with against aggro decks. I also like the idea of using this as a bargaining tool in multiplayer to reward your allies and punish your enemies.

This would most definitely be mythic nowadays, and that's exactly where this sort of effect should sit. So cool, but not something that should be seen often.
