Hello all,

Quick question about the new [[Sahir, Visitor in Darkness]]: Does paying 1 life as a cost for an activated ability trigger his second ability? For example, for [[Blood Celebrant]] 's ability, or [[Wall of Blood]] 's.

Part of me says no, since it's the cost that is causing me to lose life and not the ability. On the other hand, I get that the whole activated ability might is considered the ability, and it's causing you to lose life by paying for its cost, but that somehow doesn't sit right with me.

EDHREC seems to err on the side of "yes" though, making me more confused.

Thanks in advance!
