taking damage is different than paying life. a lot of these cards don't synergize the way you may think.

I think the idea is to get to one quickly and pay until you get close to 1 or 1 itself. But I do agree with what you said, you cannot pay life you don't have which is not the same as losing life through effects like Shock or Combat Damage.So in theory getting to 1 or even 2 life would not allow you to pay 2 life to say Immolating Souleater's ability because you would go to -1 or 0 respectively.There are other neat cards from older sets that say you lose life rather than paying life that might be of more interest if this deck is for Vintage.Id recommend these cards:I HIGHLY recommend this card: Phyrexian Etchings >> Allows for lots of mana and cards over time and is a turn 3 drop. Because it says you lose life you can negate that putting you to below 1 with angel's grace. You could set up an interesting combo that allows you to Sac or destroy Etchings to make you lose life really quickly.Audacious Thief >> Allows for a body on the board and card draw when it attacksBesides that I think this deck is really cool and might make a similar style deck!
Thanks for your advices i will do that
