Here's where I am with the code so far. The part I can't realize is "You can't pay any amount of life except 0".. Any idea on how it could be coded? (if it can be coded..)

PS: I know that the "PLAYER_LIFE_CHANGED" is probably superficial.
you can now pay life as Activation Cost ie but your life total won't chage (al least LOL)

The only way to code it would be to re-write every card that allows you to pay life to look for some value (either the card or a custom player characteristic) and prevent the player from paying any amount of life other than 0. This can't be done with code in a single card.
