Death's Shadow

Like always I play powerful decks but that are also very fun to play. So I was thinking about the card Death's shadow. This is a creature 13/13 for one black mana. It gets -x/-x where x is the total of your life. My whole idea for this would be deck is "what if x was negative?"
Would that pump up Death's Shadow? Because say your total life was -22 and so for Death's shadow x would be -22 so Death's Shadow would get -(-22)/-(-22). Giving the creature +22/+22. At least that's how I'm thinking it would work. Please clear this up for me.

yes that would work. Play something that says you can't die and beat the other guy dead with your big ass 1 drop.

Yeah man that's the plan. In fact I am going to take it a step futher. By using enchantments that buff up solo creatures along with powerful white enchantments. And some other stuff.

Yeah I dont think im going to play the deck I had in mind in public or even post it up on her. The reason being is because a few of the cards I have in mind cost a lot to buy so it not something most people can get.
