Rulings
  • WotCApr 15, 2013

    You must pay both X life and {X}{B}. For example, if you want each other player to lose 2 life when Bond of Agony resolves, you must pay {2}{B} and 2 life.

  • WotCMay 1, 2006

    You can choose an X that’s equal to your life total. If you do, you’ll pay that much life when the spell is cast and will lose the game before it resolves.

  • WotCMay 1, 2006

    You can’t choose an X that’s greater than your life total.
