3. I'm not sure about the anti-synergy with SoD and stone skin. Max HP does not affect this card. Only your current HP and number of cards in hand will determine whether you gain 10 HP or not.

This is mainly an issue for beginners and grinding based decks. Particularly EM

The payout you get after a game ends is based on your %HP remaining. In order to get an EM, that has to be 100% ... So this card will be much less useful with each SoD used, since at best, you only get healing if you have 80 HP or less. If you only need to stay healed to 100 HP, then this is fine since sanc, luciferin, or Holy light takes care of the rest.

Once you use 1 SoD, however, you now go from a 20 point deficit to 36 or 44 point deficit. Thats a good deal more difficult to make up in one round.

So, yes, max HP does not affect this card, but it will affect the percentage of winnings a player gets at the end of a game, and it will especially affect their EM chances.
Whether the glass is half full or half empty is a moot point. It is always filled to the brim. It is only a matter of by what. The real question is: What fills you?
If your zombie plan is
kill -9 `ps l | awk '{print $2" "$3" "$9}' | grep "Z" | awk '{printf("%s ",$2)}'`

I think the problem of not getting EM does not lie in this card. Instead, the problem is the mechanics of SoD and Stone Skin (increasing Max HP). I can't see why you would use SoD or Stone Skin if you want EM in the first place.

Having a max HP higher than 100 will increase your winnings. But the winnings still get scaled by your %HP remaining, I believe.
For instance, I used to use a lvl3 grinder that pumped max HP to its cap and then used Miracle and Sanc. to get an EM.
I could get 80-100 :electrum per win most of the time... Of course I had to wait until the elder decked out first. Slow, but relatively effective.
