@DoragonShinzui: Not quite. When you copy this with Reverberate, you put a copy of it onto the stack. You control the copy, so when the copy says 'you' it is referring to you.

That RedRed did indeed gain him life, and not double his opponent's lifegain.

111.2. A spell’s owner is the same as the owner of the card that represents it, unless it’s a copy. In that case, the owner of the spell is the player under whose control it was put on the stack. A spell’s controller is, by default, the player who put it on the stack. Every spell has a controller.

Incidentally, the rulings for Reverberate address this very question:
"If the copy says that it affects "you," it affects the controller of the copy, not the controller of the original spell."

lifegain doesn't have to suck if wizards stops printing cards like this

Worst mythic right now, and I wouldn't be surprised if it retains that title for all eternity

Well...at least it's an okay limited card. (Seriously it is, there was a lot of mill in this block and if you build a stall deck it lets you mill your opponent passively pretty reliably).

EDIT #2: (the rest of this post doesn't really matter, feel free to skip the OP and Edit 1) SOOO...this card.....lawlz. It sucks. It sucks BAD. Commander is not a place it can be good enough. BUT! I POSIT that ANY card deserves a Two-Star rating in the context of 'the Deck it belongs In', IF such a Deck can indeed be found.

So. Is there any deck where this card is worth a 2-star Rating? Actually. there is. It's a really, really obnoxious deck, and it makes this card THE MOST OBNOXIOUS CARD EVER. not like, 'broken obnoxious'. See, broken obnoxious can sometimes be funny or sometimes be so overpowered it's cool. No, I mean ACTUALLY obnoxious where you really want to punch your opponent, because this card is GOOD in this little CORNER case scenario....and the effect it causes is a PAINFUL, OBNOXIOUS GAME to be LONGER, AND PAINFULLER, AND OBNOXIOUSER. LAWL! It's Blue-White-Control Combo alright,

@BandswithOther, but NOTHING as clean and Spikey as Hive Mind or aut... (see all)

Because I am bored:
Archfiend's Delight 7Black
For each creature card in your graveyard you may pay 2 life; if you do, return that card from your graveyard to the battlefield.

About the actual card in question though, it is annoyingly bad. I got 2 of these actually in packs. I should have stopped buying any after I got the first one. The annoyance factor here is key. Just as "One with Nothing" may not be the worst card ever, it was still a painful rare to draw. Archangel's light is a painfully useless mythic.

This card is not good in EDH, it is not good for life-gain, it is not good in limited, I will tell you why. Firstly lifegain is not a good primary effect for a card. Look at lifegain that people play: Lightning Helix, Baneslayer Angel, Vampire Nighthawk or exsanguinate make good examples. For each of these cards, there is a primary effect (Damage or an efficient creatur... (see all)

Poor mythic, getting hate-rated and all.

Here, let me hate-rate you some more. This card is the reason I stopped buying Dark Ascension.

Guys, you're looking at this all wrong. This card is not as bad as you all seem to think!

No, it's worse! You see, this card is the key that unlocks a deck idea I hereby name "UW Eventual Mill", or "Why are we even fighting again?". The goal of this deck is to make your opponent run out of cards... the long way. Using blue cards such as Unsummon and Boomerang as well as a gratuitous number of counterspells, and white removal (Oblivion Rings, Path of Exile, Journey to Nowhere, Smite) and stalling (Guard Duty, Pacifism, Arrest, Heart of Light, Curse of Exhaustion) the opponent will be prevented from actually doing anything at all. You may not even need to run any creatures, though if you do I suggest those that combo with things like Smite in the most annoying... (see all)

If you're looking for the lowest rated Mythic Rare in the game, you've just found it. In fact, it's the only one rated less than two stars... and it's rated FAR less. Jank truly knows no bounds.

Probably could have cost 5W and still not have been OP.
