Whenever an opponent loses life you gain life

Asked by aplechaty 6 years ago

OK I have a question to clarify how these cards work both the Zulaport Cuthtroat, and Drana's Emmisary say the following.

each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life.

Does that mean I gain one life for each point of life lost per opponent or do I only gain 1 life period no matter how many opponents lose life?

I thought for each life lost per opponent I gained one life, based on the wording, but I was told I was wrong during a game. Any comments are greatly appreciated.
