For Challenge # 058. Okay, I admit this card has very little to do with the randomly generated land I got which read "Pay 1 life,
: Add 
to your mana pool". I also have no idea how I jumped from that awful card to this really weird card that allows you to use your opponent's life to cast spells that require life as a cost. Once I hit on it, though, I wasn't not going to make it...
*gapes in bogglement*
Um. Uh..
Actually; this makes a lot of sense. LOTS of stuff say "Additional cost: 2 life" and such; so why the heck not allow that life to come from the mana pool?
Kinda crazy, considering you started with a Elves of Deep Shadow variant; but what the heck :)
ROFL! Yeah, that's awesome. AFAIK it pretty much works as intended, but I would never have thought of it.
Yeah. I mean, the rules have never even thought of handling it, but I think they could actually handle it pretty much fine. The mana pool can already have at least 17 different kinds of mana in it (five Sakura-Tribe Springcallers, Orrery out a different colour-hacked False Dawn between each trigger, then tap some Vedalken Engineers, Eldrazi Temples etc), so why not let it have life in it? You can spend it on Phyrexian spells and any number of other additional costs. Mad, mad, mad, but I can't see why it wouldn't work.
So weird.
