I think that the original point system (1 point per victory) is better. The idea is to build the best all-around SC. With different points, you encourage contestants to concentrate on the later rounds. I also don't like rewarding kills in addition to victories. Maybe you could keep track of kills for a tiebreaker, but the main focus should be on winning battles.

You might also consider having a couple of rounds with masses of lifeless creatures so that lifedraining is not always useful.

I am not submitting a SC, but that's my 2 cents anyway.
