So, we are both at 20. I get a storm of 9 then cast Tendrils. My opponent responds with False Cure. Would the game end in a draw or would someone win? Sorry if this is obvious, but I am having a brain fart.

False Cure says "Until end of turn, whenever a player gains life, that player loses 2 life for each 1 life he or she gained."

"Whenever" means it's a trigger. Every time a copy of Tendrils of Agony resolves, he'll lose two life and you'll gain two life, and then a (essentially) "lose 4 life" trigger will go on the stack.

He'll lose the game with you at four life and a False Cure trigger waiting to be put on the stack. The only way he can win is to be at at least two life more than you - one more, even, or less and you win.

This is *STILL* wrong. In my (now deleted) post, I even gave a clear example of how you are wrong.

If clarification on this issue is "unnecessary" you should at least delete the part that's wrong from your post, instead of elaborating on it but STILL BEING WRONG.


EDIT: Also, I used the same pronoun scheme that you did ("you" for caster of Tendrils, "him" for opponent).
