"Players can't pay life" and Ward

Asked by TehGrief 1 year ago

My opponent controls Yasharn, Implacable Earth, which says that "Players can't pay life or sacrifice nonland permanents to cast spells or activate abilities".

Is my opponent able to bypass the Ward (pay 3 life) of my Sedgemoor Witch?

No, the opponent can still pay the life cost of Sedgemoor Witches ward ability - as Ward is a triggered ability, not an activated one or a spell, it has no impact on Yasharn, Implacable Earth.

Yasharn, Implacable Earths ability has absolutely no effect on Sedgemoor Witch interaction.
