The only issue is that it would be presumably used in a deck like enchantress which is attempting to sometimes cast non creature spells that are 4 or more. Not saying I dont like the idea, just why it wouldn't be made more than likely assuming for some reason R&D were to think about itQuote:

Skip your draw step
Whenever you lose life, draw that many cards. (Damage causes loss of life.)
Combos with Gitaxian Probe and Grapeshot ... like that.Quote:

Noxious Revival seems like it'd be especially good.
So what's the difference between paying life and damage?
Loss of life can't be prevented. The ability to print "lose life" instead of "take damage" gives Wizards a tier system for damage, basically. They need some way to make damage capable of being dealt with, and then some way to make certain types of damage unavoidable without having to print "this damage cannot be prevented by any spell or ability" every time.Quote:

It would also basically function as a Solitary Confinement against aggro decks. This thing would be insane in control and combo decks, even without Phyrexian mana tricks.Quote:

You know that drawing cards isn't actually the same as not dying right?Quote:

I voted black too.Quote:

I also voted Black. Black always has cool enchantments mostly because being flavorful for black means being absurdly awesome.
The headline of the poll is wrong so we can vote black as a "card type".
Some card ideas for Red enchantments.
Barbed Seal

Enchantment
When ~ enters the battlefield, draw a card.
Sacrifice ~, each player discards a card at random.

Chaos Mine

At the end of your turn, count the number of permanents in play. If that number is odd, each player draws a card. If that number is even, each player discards a card.

Just Keep Attacking

When ~ enters the battlefield, choose a color.
Creatures of the chosen color can't block.
Red creatures can't block.
