Interesting idea. I am definitely in support of more in-element opportunities for Death to activate death effects. I also love the aspect of discarding the card to trigger death effects twice. Just one suggestion: I think that the side effect quanta drain amount for when the card is discarded could be lowered by 1 for both the unupped and the upped version, since it is sort of difficult to control getting into the position to discard a card. The fact that this card works better discarded is great, since death is kind of about patiently awaiting the demise of the opponent. Great idea!

Cool idea, but I think it is a little expensive for a death effect. You're using a card and 3 for that.
Virus achieve the same for 1 card, 1 and 1 turn (and also gives damage and poison)
I think you can lower the cost by 1.
Nice idea with the discard effect.

[EmeraldTiger]

Okay, I will adjust it soon. This was mainly an example for OdinVanguard, of what can be done with a discard effect.

[OdinVanguard]

Interesting. Its not the first time a death trigger card has been proposed but I think its the first time I've seen it worked into a discard cast effect.

I tend to see "trigger death effects" used for this sort of effect rather than  "Acts as if a creature died". I think the former is slightly shorter, but they both get the idea across.

It seems slightly pricey to me, but otherwise looks pretty good.

[EmeraldTiger]

Is cost too low now?

[andretimpa]

I'd make it a 0 cost card (maybe 1 if you are worried about the mulligan) to increase the synergy with Soul Catcher. Maybe the upped one could trigger an extra death effect.

Ninja'd...

[OdinVanguard]

It should work well with that cost I think.
Considering you can get a death effect plus poison / plague using virus or retrovirus for close to the same cost, this seems about right.

Imho, "Acts as if a creature died" should be rephrased to "trigger a death effect" and "acts as if 2 creatures died" should be rephrased to "trigger 2 death effects".
About the idea, it is good, but I don't think more death triggers is what the game needs right now. I think that should become more versatile.
