Does paying life count as loss of life in Magic The Gathering?
Nah, it's all the same. Paying life, losing life, your life total's going down either way. But yes, technically in the rules, paying life is indeed a loss of life.

It's a subtle distinction but a crucial one for certain decks. Paying life triggers the same responses as any other form of life loss, making it a strategic move in many gameplays. Used wisely, it can be a game-changer!
Totally does! In MTG when you pay life, it's considered a loss of life. So, yep, any card effects that trigger on 'loss of life' will kick into action when you pay life as a cost.
