Platinum Emperion + Glacial Chasm
Asked by mathimus55 11 years ago
I just want to verify the interaction between Platinum Emperion and Glacial Chasm :
During your upkeep, life would still be "paid" towards the chasm to keep it in play, but the emperion would prevent your life from going down. The emperion doesn't prevent the damage but simply prevents your life from dropping. The same as if you're deal infect damage, it's not preventing the damage and you'd still get the poison counters but your life total would be unchanged. Is this assumption correct, essentially letting to keep the chasm out indefinitely without paying life?

No, this doesn't work at all.
First off, it says right in Platinum Emperion : "You can't pay any amount of life except 0". This will prevent you from paying Glacial Chasm 's upkeep right away.
Second, Glacial Chasm only prevents damage to you, not lose of life. Damage you take results in lose of life per the game's rules, but they're not the same thing. Life payment also results in lose of life, but it isn't damage.

Platinum Emperion has reminder text: You can't pay any amount of life other except 0. You'd be forced to sacrifice the Chasm the first upkeep both of them are in play.
