Can you pay more life than you don't have in MTG?
Nope, you can't pay more life than you have in MTG. Think of your life total as your wallet—if you don’t have enough cash, you can’t make the purchase. So, if a spell or ability requires you to pay more life than you currently have, you simply can't pay that cost.

Actually, in MTG, your life is a resource but not an unlimited one. You can only pay up to the amount of life you have. Trying to pay more is like trying to spend money you don't have—just doesn't work.
No way. Your life total in MTG isn't a credit line. If you're down to 1 life, you can't pay 2 life, because you're not in the negatives game-wise.
Nah, you gotta stay within your life budget. No overdraft fees in the MTG world!
