<p>Yes. As <a href="https://magiccards.info/query?q=o%3AWhenever+o%3A%22loses+life%22&amp;v=card&amp;s=cname" rel="noreferrer">this query</a> reveals, there's the following card:</p>

  <p><a class="mtg-autocard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bExquisite%20Blood%5d">Exquisite Blood</a><br>
  {4}{B}<br>
  Enchantment<br>
  Whenever an opponent loses life, you gain that much life.</p>

<p>It combos nicely with <a class="mtg-autocard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bSanguine%20Bond%5d">Sanguine Bond</a> and <a href="https://magiccards.info/query?q=o%3A%22Whenever+you+gain+life%22&amp;v=card&amp;s=cname" rel="noreferrer">a number of other cards</a>.</p>

@doppelgreener, I already provided a link to the card. I included the search query as an example of what the OP could have done so they (and other readers) can learn. And I feel it's best to keep things as general, at least until it's found to generate too many matches.

Yeah but... it's a search that mentions both phrases... why would you not? (We *could* just include every card that mentions "life" and leave it at that, but there's a reason we won't.)

It's too easy to filter out legit results even when one thinks one knows the proper templating. If anything, I'm tempted to make it wider to include taking damage. /// Also, one gets to learn or related cards that could be included

Ok, sure, whatever floats your boat then. I've added a quote around the card quote at least.

No problem. And on further thought a 7 result query seems like a good idea even if it's got more results than necessary. (An enterprising searcher might go "but what if I filter it down with `o:"gain life"` as well.... aha!")

<p>I was wondering if there is a card that says something like "whenever opponent loses life, you gain life." It doesn't matter how much life gain, just need to know if a card like this exists.</p>

Are there cards that turn opponents' life loss into my life gain?

I was wondering if there is a card that says something like "whenever opponent loses life, you gain life." It doesn't matter how much life gain, just need to know if a card like this exists.

Yes. As [this query](https://magiccards.info/query?q=o%3AWhenever+o%3A%22loses+life%22&v=card&s=cname) reveals, there's the following card:

> [Exquisite Blood](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bExquisite%20Blood%5d)  
> {4}{B}  
> Enchantment  
> Whenever an opponent loses life, you gain that much life.

It combos nicely with [Sanguine Bond](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bSanguine%20Bond%5d) and [a number of other cards](https://magiccards.info/query?q=o%3A%22Whenever+you+gain+life%22&v=card&s=cname).
