There are only so many effects that scale naturally with "pay X life", like Toxic Deluge and Fire Covenant. I think I found one that Magic hasn't done yet.
At least it's more balanced than Channel or Necropotence. Right?
I would probably see it as a UB card. Either: UBX while casting cardname, spend any ammount of life. Each point of life spent this way pays {1} of Cardname's mana cost. Target opponent mills X cards

Way too good in dredge and breach
ReplyDeleteIf it was "target opponent" it would be fine but would it be too niche?
DeleteOops, I hadn't even thought about targeting yourself. "Target opponent" is what I was going for.
DeleteThe baseline I was thinking is milling 10 for 10 life, which isn't great but also not terrible. Could be fun in a lifegain deck also.

Or UB and pay X life. Opponent mills X+2 cards.
