2 Questions: Can I cast Mental Misstep before my first turn, & can Personal Sanctuary prevent Lifeloss on your turn?
Asked by BMHKain 5 years ago
Sorry about the huge amass of Questions, so I'll be brief; Mental Misstep has Phyrexian Mana, so is it allowed that I pay 2 to use it before your first turn? Also, Stuff like Mana Vault/Mana Crypt deals damage, which can be prevented by stuff like Personal Sanctuary. For an Example, Ad Nauseam puts stuff in your hand at a cost of life, not damage. Is this also prevented by Personal Sanctuary?
Thanks in advance, & sorry for the mass amount of questions... :/
Alright then. I'll proceed to learn some link based info from outside of here to here as you previously advised. Thanks for the help, Gidgetimer.

As long as you can pay the cost for a spell or ability you can play it following timing restrictions. The fact that people can Force of Will before their first turn is what keeps Legacy as honest as it is.
Lifeloss isn't damage, though damage usually results in life loss. Things that prevent damage do not prevent life loss.
