About this card
Mana cost: {B}
Type: Instant
You and target creature's controller each secretly choose a number 0 or greater. Then, reveal the chosen numbers. If your number was highest or tied for the highest, exile that creature. Each player who chose the highest number loses that much life.
Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Life at Stake is real?
Life at Stake is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the print quality and cardstock (real cards have a distinctive blue inner core visible from the edge), the rosette pattern on the back, the security stamp on planeswalker / mythic cards from recent sets, and confirm the collector number and set code match the official Scryfall record. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
