Can you have negative life in MTG?
Yeah, going into the negatives is totally a thing in Magic. But remember, if you're at -10, getting back to positive is gonna take some serious magic!

Absolutely! In MTG, you can definitely have negative life. It's not the end until the current turn is over or a card effect specifically says you lose the game for having 0 or less life. Some decks and strategies, like those involving the card 'Phyrexian Unlife,' even play around with being at negative life totals!
Nope, once you hit 0, game over. Why bother with negatives?
