What it does
Target player loses X life and you gain X life, where X is the greatest power among creatures you control.
Rulings
2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2012-05-01
The value of X is determined when Essence Harvest resolves. If you control no creatures that time, no life will be lost or gained.
- 2012-05-01
Essence Harvest targets only the player. It doesn’t target any creatures. If that player is an illegal target when Essence Harvest tries to resolve, it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. No life will be lost or gained.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
