The Mindskinner's X is counting life loss as damage.

I'm sure this falls into the working as intended even though it's not working as written category. I case there's ever an effort to clean upthe wording so that card text and effects are consistent I figured I'd submit this.

We've been told that life loss and damage are independent.

The Mindskinner says that its X is only calculated on damage though.

"When your opponent loses life or is dealt damage: Destroy the top X cards of your opponent's library. X is the damage dealt that way."

Even though it can trigger off of life lose its X should always calculate as 0 when it does since no damage is dealt when life is lost. Currently that's not how it's working though. When it triggers on life loss it's counting that life loss as damage for the purpose of calculating X.

It needs the last sentence to be something more like "X is the life lost or damage dealt that way." to be consistent with how it's working now.
