Trade a thing for another thing; and reach+lifegain.

Humm. Trade reach for lifegain? I could certainly write "Whenever you would gain life, you may instead have ~ gain reach UEOT" but... why would I write that? It's crappy and dumb.

How about a flat out bargain. "I can no longer gain life; but you can no longer fly." Now that's interesting (though hard to see how you could expand it much - "I can no longer draw cards" is too potent to give up, and "I can no longer cast spells" has already been done, with epic. No more lands maybe? But then you use it late on and it's no loss).

So giving up lifegain is no loss at all to most decks. But after all, Levitation or Spidersilk Armor are hardly that expensive.

So um; this ends up very cheap. Feels weird.

That first ability doesn't feel at all. Weird design.
