Secondly, you're already paying life. Think of it this way: If you have Arguel's Blood Fast, activate it four times, you've already paid 8 life and 4BBBB and drawn four cards. Now you get to destroy a creature. Seems like a lot, and in Standard, it is a lot.
This is, however, not such a huge thing in EDH. Where of course I have access to much more extort and Aristocrats strategies, and Ye Olde Necropotence. And oh yeah, I start with 40 life too.
also, popping a creature every time you activate Adanto Vanguard's ability doesn't sound like a terrible deal.
protective sphere IS modern playable and effectively reads pay 2 life prevent damage from any source with say Mana Confluence
Slaughter in a lifegain deck was pretty good.
Zur's Weirding anyone lol
