         Multiplayer games. If you were in a two headed giant game and your team mate has out a liches mirror, and your opponenets are at like 10 life with no fliers and they are tapped out, your team mate can concede (liches mirror keeps you from losing match. Blood Tyrant gets 5 +1 counters and can swing for the win. It is super secret tech.

         It doesn't work like that, Matt. Lich's Mirror creates a replacement effect and doesn't cause the player to lose the game.

         Well then you do it in teams where your team mate conceding doesn't mean match loss!

         There has been a change to this card, Matt. It should say, "Whenever a player loses life in this way, put that many +1/+1 counters on Blood Tyrant." This guy went from being amazing to meh.

         It still doesn't work like that, Matt. You don't lose the game if you have the Mirror out. It just restarts you.

         At the end of the game he gets 5 counters. Uneeded but funny.

         Disregarding the last ability, this guy does get +2/+2 every single turn. That's nothing to sneeze at!
