if say i have the ogg in play, and one of my turns, my vesuvan doppelganger copied it, and i bounced it up to my hand, i would effectively gain all the health back, right?
or just combo with sanguine bonds!

Hands down worst card ever printed.
... But seriously.. This is utter crap. Even if you're gonna try to combo this, there is way too much risk in getting insta-gibbed.

Only way I would ever put this on the table is if I had Worship already out.
Even then, just a 6/6 trample? It should be alot beefier than that for all the risk that goes along with it.

When Soulgorger Orgg comes into play, you lose the game.

I'm guessing that if someone Control Magic'ed it, they would not be able to gain the life.
However, problem with using this to activate Near Death Experience is that NDE triggers during your upkeep, meaning that assuming you don't Flash Soulgorger into play, you're going to have to wait an entire turn cycle before it activates, giving your opponent a full turn in which to respond. There are more efficient ways of getting to that 1 life (Wall of Blood, for example).

Shouldn't it be "Your life total becomes 1", because that still causes loss of life in most cases, unless you want it to work exactly the same (ie, won't save you when Plat Angel is about to bite the dust.)
Does it work if you give it to someone that they gain that much life? The life you lost, I mean.
Cause if so, Bazaar trader, then this, then Transcendence, then, the finale, doom blade.

How's that going to end the game at all? The orgg would still reduce your life total to one, no matter if you give it to your opponent after it hits play. That and bazaar trader can't give the enchantment to your opponent... you'd need to be running donate.
All you'd succeed in doing is making your life 1, having transcendence out, and giving your opponent 19 life...
EDIT:
There's always Opalescence which could help with that... but then it's a 4-turn process assuming you can't untap the trader
If it cost 3, it would be playable, and combolicious, as-is it's cost is too high to combo for such a dangerous effect.

Clone or similar won't work with this, since when the clone entered play, you presumably lost 0 life, being already at 1, so when the clone leaves play, you'd gain 0.
Donate or similar will mean that nobody gains the life when it leaves play, since "you" on a card always refers to the card's current controller. If your opponent gains this, when it leaves play, that opponent will gain life equal to the amount he or she lost when it entered play, i.e., zero (since it wasn't your opponent who lost the life; it was you).
You could combo this with Boon Reflection, Tainted Sigil, or the like, but as others have pointed out, that's very risky if your opponent has any way of damaging you before the combo finishes.

Better make sure your opponent doesn't respond to its ETB trigger by killing it. Otherwise, you're really gonna need those Children of Korlis.
Man, back when me and my friend used to think that you could play any card on anyone, this card was super-broken. He would just play the Orgg on me and burn me for one. Felt bad man. Good thing we figured out the rules properly...
And yeah, this is a neat Johnny card.

What would happen if you played this guy if you had 0 life (via cards like lich)? Would the effect even occur?

6/6 trample for is good today... And that drawback seems very fun to play around.

Remember, it's not suicide if you can get rid of it at instant speed. Unless your opponent is playing Sudden Shock.
you could flash it in if you knew your opponent main decked it

It's also the owner of the least Orgg-like artwork, being waay too small and having gigantic ears compared to its body.
......
Too much damn work!

Oh, combos with Death's Shadow and Repay in Kind, but not as well as Lich does. Also combos well with Eternity Vessel. They both combo well with Sanguine Bond, as do Children of Korlis. But you knew that already.
But seriously, Death's Shadow.
And yeah, this is a neat Johnny card.
You may kiss the orgg.
