But {Griselbrand} has lifelink, so you wouldn't lose the life anyways.

Yes but you can't pay life in the first place with emperion

Right, but without it, you could still mill yourself right?

no cus you have to pay the cost. you don't try to pay costs you either do or you don't and then the spell or the ability does or does not go on the stack.

As BJ always tells us, CAN'T trumps CAN. So you can try to pay the 7 life, but since the emporion says you can't, it's overrules it.

so you're agreeing with me?
Yes. Why wouldn't I be. That's what Jester says
It's what the rules say. BlackJester is merely quoting the rules. 😜 I only WISH I had that kind of authority.

Also, you can't pay with something you don't have. Even if you had {Phyrexian Unlife} in play, if you have 6 life or less you cant pay 7 life. The game doesn't take IOUs.
