Pay
Revision as of 16:57, 13 September 2013 by SnorlaxMonster (talk | contribs) (Just checked the rulings for the other cards, and they all pay as costs)
To pay is to give up Life Points for a card effect. In most cases, paying Life Points is a cost; however, "Gishki Photomirror" causes the player to pay Life Points for an effect.
"Spell Economics" allows the player to activate Spell Cards that normally require Life Points to be paid as a cost, such as "Dimension Fusion" and "Brain Control", without paying those Life Points.
Paying Life Points is distinct from taking damage. Whereas if a player takes damage that reduces their Life Points to 0 they lose the duel, if a paying Life Points for a cost would reduce their Life Points to 0, they instead cannot perform the action that requires that cost.
