118.4 If a cost or effect allows a player to pay an amount of life greater than 0, the player may do so only if his or her life total is greater than or equal to the amount of the payment.

Everyone saying Lich and platinum angel combos isn't right. You can't pay life you don't have, so if your life is at 0 or lower, you can't pay any life, so you can't activate the card.

well, half of one rounded up is still one...
with that i would use it to demo that 9/9 or what ever creature in play late game
a very effective card unless ur opponent can deal you direct damage(red) or natralize it lol

@Leo...Preliator

At 0 life you would have to pay 0 life, so that doesn't pose a problem. I'm not 100% how this is handled in MTG but half of a negative number is a negative number. So mathematically if you were at -4 you would lose -2 life (aka you would gain 2 life).

Looked it up and apparently when a negative life total is used for calculations it is treated as zero. So anything under 0 makes you lose 0 life, a cost you can always pay.

It works.

Underrated card. In a mono-black zombie/rat/thrull/whatever-token-you-like swarm deck, breaks a mid-to-late-game stalemate in classic black fashion.
