You gain life equal to the life lost this way

[Skullguy725]

I've seen this on a lot of cards (see {Debt to the deathless})
Does it mean you gain the amount of life lost for each opponent?

Thanks

Yes. You gain all the life lost that way. But not from something like {Guttersnipe}, that would deal damage when the spell is cast, because the damage comes from another source.

To clarify:  if you are playing a 4-man game and you cast it for X=5, you have three opponents that each lose 5 life, meaning 15 life was lost that way.  Therefore, you gain 15 life.

In a 4 player game if x = 5 your 3 opponents would lose 10 life and you would gain 30 life; debt says they lose life equal to 2 times x.

What If one of those opponent only hâve 3 Life left.
Do i still gain 15?

I have been corrected!  I was thinking {Exsanguinate}

At three life left they still lose 15 to get to -12 life

Does the same apply to extort? (See {Blind obedience})

Yup.  In a four-player free-for-all, each Extort trigger you pay for will net you 3 life, barring effects like {Platinum Emperion}.  If one opponent had one of those guys out, you'd only gain 2, since only two life would be lost.

Got it. Thanks for the clarification
