Syphon Life, Sorcery, designed by Dan Seagrave first released in Jul, 2008 in the set Eventide and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.
This card, Syphon Life, would be beneficial in a control or midrange deck that aims to gain incremental life advantage while also dealing damage to the opponent. However, in a competitive setting, there are better options such as Bitterblossom or Phyrexian Arena which provide more consistent card advantage or board presence. Syphon Life could see play in a casual or budget deck, but in more competitive environments, it may not be the optimal choice.

Casting a card by using its retrace ability works just like casting any other spell, with two exceptions: You’re casting it from your graveyard rather than your hand, and you must discard a land card in addition to any other costs.

When a retrace card you cast from your graveyard resolves, fails to resolve, or is countered, it’s put back into your graveyard. You may use the retrace ability to cast it again.
