Forum:Soul Absorption

Soul Absorption: Each time a card(s) is removed from play, increase your Life Points by 500 points for each card removed from play.

With the way it's worded, it sounds as if each time a card is removed from play, your life points increase by the current total of cards that HAVE BEEN removed from play x 500. So, for example, say the amount of cards that have been removed from play are 0. Then you play Soul Absorption. Then a card is removed from play (say, by Macro Cosmos's effect). You gain 500 life points. Then another card is removed from play. Now there 2 cards removed from play, and since that card's effect reads "increase your Life Points by 500 point for each card removed from play", and there are 2 cards removed from play, then you would gain 1000 life points, and so on, and the amount of life points you gain would constantly stack up. This of course, makes this card insanely broken for any deck built around removing cards from play.

I believe that if they meant for the card to only increase your life points by 500 each time a card was removed from play, then it should SAY "Each time a card(s) is removed from play, increase your Life Points by 500 points", cutting off the "for each card removed from play" part.

Am I wrong?
