This amuses me much more than it should.

It's probably ok power wise in modern magic? I mean, Crimson Kobolds are sad, but they were mostly a joke at the time too'; the 'forever recycle a 0-cost' ship already sailed before they arrived.

It's a worse Memnite, so sure

I'd prefer it if this was "{w}{u}{b}{r}{g}: Gain 0 life" or "Kicker {w}{u}{b}{r}{g}" (with no kicker text) or something. But those would have edge case interactions (Angel of Vitality wouldn't see it, but you could arrange for it to trigger Ceaseless Searblades and Roost of Drakes respectively), where this is most blatant about "I'm including these symbols for no reason at all", so... sure.

I wonder how "Gain 0 life" would interreact with Cleric Class? XD

But alas, that can't work. Had to do a little digging, but rule 119.10 disallows it. Otherwise, Lifelink for 0 would have triggered far too many things. ;)
