Asked by wei3721 13 years ago
sorry for the noob question, cause i not sure
- when i got 1 or 0 life, and have phyrexia-unlife in play. can i still pay phyrexia mana using life?
118.8. If an effect says that a player can't lose life, that player can't exchange life totals with a player who has a lower life total; in that case, the exchange won't happen. In addition, a cost that involves having that player pay life can't be paid.

6/1/2011 If you're at 1 life or less, you can't pay 2 life.
This is from the oracle ruling for gitaxian probe and is in reference to phyrexian mana.
So in other words even though you can't lose the game with less than 0 life you still may not pay the life to use it.

You cannot pay life you don't have, even if you wouldn't lose the game.

Phyrexian Unlife
No, because you can't pay for something with a resource you don't have. In this case, you don't have enough life to pay the 2-life cost.
