Wait a second; when you copy a spell, you copy all choices made with that spell right?? Does that mean that you can kill people with Spoils of the Vault + Hive Mind when naming a card that your opponents doesn't have?? If so, all you have to do is to have more life than your opponents and then kill everybody with this.
Someone please respond to this :)

DrJack: Your conclusion "At some point, life does matter" is correct, but your proof is terrible. Life matters in a few situations:
1. You are playing against an Aggressive Red player (it matters even more if you are running Fetches and Pain lands)
2. You are playing Felidar Sovereign, or Soul Sisters or any variant thereof (like Wellwisher) and Life makes your cards better (Serra Asendant)
3. You are playing "Midrange Meats 'n' Beats" (Baneslayer Angel, Thragtusk, and/or Huntmaster of the Fells) where your win-condition is to gain Life faster than a Burn deck can take it away, while dealing average points of damage a turn. Nearly always have to use Lifelink keyword cards, although two of those cards happen to gain life differently.
4. You are playing Multiplayer Magic, in which case it matters as much as a New Player would *expect* It ... (see all)

In a multi-colored deck or in a bad draw situation, I see this as a great way to find that land you're looking for. You run a substantially lower risk of milling yourself to death being that you usually run more of hose cards than others.

Not a bad way to fetch a finisher; especially if that's a life leech effect. Nab that devouring greed, hit the opponent for 12, gain 12 of your life back (or whatever) and finish out the game.

Great power at great risk, black cards in the old days have more dare than today's new ones.

Masochists can name a card that isn't in their library.
