If an effect says that a player can’t lose life, that player can’t exchange life totals with a player who has a lower life total; in that case, the exchange won’t happen.

2007-09-16wotc

When the life totals are exchanged, each player gains or loses the amount of life necessary to equal the other player’s previous life total. For example, if player A has 5 life and player B has 3 life before the exchange, player A will lose 2 life and player B will gain 2 life. Replacement effects may modify these gains and losses, and triggered abilities may trigger on them.

Context

This printing is one of 3 catalogued treatments from ME1 — the lineup includes Foil and Nonfoil alongside the standard finish. Across our catalog the Rarix library tracks every variant in the same family so collectors can compare price, scarcity and demand inside a single lineage.

Card #159 of *Masters Edition*, the set that shipped alongside the September 2007 Masters Edition release.

Card type: Artifact, printed at rare. Rares occupy the bottom-of-pack rare slot in standard boosters. Mana cost: {6} (6 converted).

Legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Commander. This printing is on Wizards of the Coast's Reserved List — Wizards has committed never to reprint cards on that list, which underwrites a structural scarcity floor on every surviving copy.

EDHrec ranks this card #21,889 in Commander, putting it in the fringe-play tier of the format's playable pool.
