My friend argued that if the card said "lose life" that it wasn't "damage" and that bloodthirst didnt work. I believe I was right in what I did, but we want to be sure. Please enlighten my friend and I

Bloodthirst only works if an opponent was "damaged" in the turn, but "loss of life" isn't synonymous "damage" in magic. They're different effects. Another example of this difference is how loss of life bypasses Worship since losing life isn't the same as "damage" -- MTG Deck Builder's friendly moderator and DCI Rules Advisor Follow my twitter: @RayZoh
