I got it. A set impact that gives your lifelink damage to your opponent. Something like this.

Dragon's Pain

Set (for free)

cost: 4 guage

Counter:  When you would take damage from your lifelink, you take none instead. Your opponent takes damage equal to the lifelink.

or

Counter:  When you would take damage from your lifelink, you take none instead. Your opponent takes damage equal to half of the lifelink. (rounded up)

Making it a set impact gives your opponent the chance to work around it. Magic World can destroy it with Bustin' Caps but that would cost a wopping 4 gauge. Paying all that gauge leaves little to no gauge for other cards to destroy the monster. Other clans have to try and force Ancient World to use up their gauge before destroying the monster or rush attack before Ancient gets the 4 gauge they need.
