[never mind - does not work as I imagined. Need to use Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind instead"]

Psychosis Crawler in play, simply add curiosity - the next time you draw, damage all opponents (great for a multiplayer game) allowing you to draw (for each opponent damaged), causing more damage, allowing you to draw more, well you get the point.

As long as you have more cards than someone has life (and they can't stop it somehow of course) game over man - - - >

hmmm... again, perhaps my interpretation of the rules do not apply here? I am thinking that when I draw a card the crawler is the source of the damage, but it is loss of life so it is not damage? hmmm...

correct, damage causes loss of life, loss of life doesn't cause damage, you would have to actually attack with it.

I thought for sure that counted as damage!

So what's the difference?

The ability is life loss. Attack damage is damage. If it says lose life then it isn't damage, but life loss.

Just to clarify:

Damage causes loss of life, but loss of life isn't damage.
