This card is ridiculously good. This screws up most cards, but you should eratta that so it doesn't affect cards with the tap or untap symbol already in it. A nice picture would be Jon Finkel draining Richard Garfield's super powers. 

It seems like a good idea in theory, I would maybe participate even though most of my cards are garbage 

The main problem with MBC in highlander is that alot of good black cards have you pay/lose life for, and this can be a problem since there are quite a few decently fast HL decks out there. To get around that, some decks that aren't MBC just don't run the extremely good cards that require life payment, or have life gain, or make sure their opponent loses more. I would reccomend having life gain (In my opinion, it is not a good idea to have low life when facing aggro and such), but luckily, mono black has quite a few cards that gain you life, like  Corrupt, Drain Life, Highway Robber, Morsel Theft, Shadow Theft, Soul Burn (like drain life, but costs 1 more), Vampiric Link, Vampiric Touch, Tendrils of corruption, Vicious Hunger, Kokusho, Soul Spike, Rhystic Syphon, Soul Feast, Syphon Life, Consume Spirit, Tendrils of Agony, and probably many more. Whats awesome about some of these is that they're relevant to what you want to do.

Just for fun because it would help out most highlander decks it's playing against. this deck has won ONCE against a decent deck, lol.
