Life's Legacy + Bioshift (or Sage of Hours)
Asked by MmmK 9 years ago
Suppose I have a Vinelasher Kudzu on the field with 3 +1/+1 counters. If I were to cast Life's Legacy using Vinelasher Kudzu as a sacrifice and in response cast Bioshift to move the 3 counters before it died: would Life's Legacy net 4 cards drawn or would the Bioshift reduce it to 1?
Forgot to explain the Sage of Hours bit. Picture the same scenario but I want to activate Sage of Hours ability to take extra turns before I sac it. Would removing counters before it dies alter the amount of cards I would draw?
These are just hypothetical questions as I don't have Life's Legacy yet to have playtested it.
I shouldn't post when I am tired lol.

There is no point time when you are able to both remove the counters and get a lot of cards via Life's Legacy. Imagine a real life life situation - can you pay for a two dollar item with a 1 dollar bill? It is the same thing here, you are trying to use the resources available to you twice - once for an extra turn, another time for card draw.

Yeah that makes sense though. The creature would die to cast the spell so if I were to remove counters before it died it would also have to be before Life's Legacy is actually cast.
Thanks for the help Kirtanei :P

Part of Life's Legacy 's cost is to sacrifice the creature, by the time you can cast another spell the Vinelasher Kudzu will already be in your graveyard.
