DarthParallax: Necopotence as printed gave you the extra cards during your discard step; as printed, this card makes everyone skip the discard step, so they would never be able to get the cards from necropotence. Both of them have been errata'd to get rid of the discard step requirement.
If you want to un-break Necropotence, I'd recommend limiting the number of times the ability can be used, in addition to upping the life payment. For example, "everytime you play this ability after the first in turn, discard a card."

This is hardly the arch-nemesis of jin-gitaxias. They don't have to discard either.
