The commander community calls this "WinCat", since 40 is your starting life total.
This would be interesting if, for commander, it were erataed to "20 more than your starting life total"

WIthout a doubt my favorite win with this card was in my Well-Equipped Kittehz deck.
I was completely, totally manascrewed, having only gotten out to two lands, but had managed to get myself in pretty good position. Got Stoneforge Mystic out, tutoring for Umezawa's Jitte and cheated Deathrender into play on a Qasali Pridemage. As the Jitte is wont to do, I kept most of his creatures off the board, but I was having the most difficult time doing any damage, due to a combination of strong blockers and chump-blocking.
Finally, I sac'd the Pridemage to cheat this guy into play with Deathrender, and soon I had 22 life and 4 charge counters on the Jitte. Swung with the Sovereign, and my opponent didn't notice the threat. During my opponent's end step, I removed 6 counters from the Jitte to land at exactly 40 life.
Best manascrew recovery ever.
