Hey there,

If i copy the oni keyword with kyogen and then perform Drinking One's Life with him, will the effect end once kyogen loses the oni keyword?

I'm not sure about this cause of the "while your oni remains in play" clause. Kyogen is still in play but no longer is he oni.

Thanks in advance.

"Your Oni" on Drinking One's life is self referential.

If Kyogen plays it (after copying Oni), as long as he remains in play, Drinking One's Life's effects will continue per card text.
