"an efficient life gain deck can hit 50 life before Felidar Sovereign can even be played"
This. Don't think anything more really needs to be said.

This card is not obsolete because of Felidar Sovereign. For starters, Felidar Sovereign costs more and is easier to destroy. Also, a deck centered around gaining life into an alternate win condition probably needs more than four "if you have X life, you win" cards, because if they all go down you're sunk. Test of Endurance can be played alongside Felidar Sovereign kind of how a Shock can be used as a fifth Lightning Bolt (though in that example, there are other cards strictly better than it, but that's not the point.)
Plus, a super-efficient life gain deck can probably hit 50 life before Felidar Sovereign can even be played. I'd still call this the worse card, but barely. They'd both go great in any life gain deck. Preferably both together.
Also, in Two-Headed Giant, your life total needs to be 99. Felidar Sovereign requires it to b... (see all)

Great in a life-gain deck, but not good for much else.

Does it only count your half of the life in a 2headed giant game like Magister sphinx? or does it count your team's joint health?

Horrible artwork. I could never run it just for the fact that nearly naked awkward looking men art hitting each other with scepters (?).

i think we are all missing the point , its a bad card ....you need to gain 30 life to win barring daamage dealt ....its a loy easier to deal 20 damage. but cool concept

This needs errata to "30 more then starting life total." Not nearly as bad as Felidar Sovereign for commander, but its still 20 life easier to accomplish then originally designed.
Do you think they designed this card with 40 health totals in mind? Of course not, stop abusing the game.

This will be going in my Oloro, Ageless Ascetic deck immediately.
