Yup, d20 works just fine for a life counter, especially in quick games or drafts. But let's be real, if you're in for a long haul or a life-gain deck, you're gonna want something that goes beyond 20. Paper and pencil, anyone?

Absolutely, you can use a d20 as a life counter in MTG! It's a common practice at casual tables. Just remember, if you're playing a format or a game where life totals can swing widely or go above 20, a d20 might not cut it and you'll have to track those extra points some other way.

No way, get a proper life counter app or a spin-down. Using a d20 is just asking for trouble when it inevitably rolls off the table mid-game.
