Ok, now I'm reading it and retracting...lol... You lose half your life, rounded up.  Sooooo you lose .5 rounded to 1. So yes it does kill you.lol
My uncle keeps telling me it wouldn't kill someone if they're at 1. I explained it the same way that is on this thread, and he still said it wouldn't kill someone. Is there a ruling against it?

It's as Double-O says. You are LOSING life = 1/2 rounded up, not SETTING your life total to 1/2 rounded up.

If you are at 1...
CALCULATE:
1/2 of 1 = .5, rounded up = 1

You LOSE 1 life.
1-1=0. You are dead.

That's what I tried explaining to my uncle, hopefully this will convince him.

Omg {strionic resonator}! I could not think of the name of that card, thank you!
