Xhasarax and I were involved in a game this last week when question came up. There was a Shadowpact deck involved, and the Shadowpact player had 0 endurance. Can endurance still be paid for payment effects if a players endurance is 0 or below?

Costs

Game costs expressed in numbers in the Vs. System are always positive integers or 0. Costs can never be negative. A cost of 0 still needs to be paid—having a cost of 0 does not automatically play a card or an effect. If an effect or modifier looks for a card's cost, it will use the card's printed cost.

A player can't pay a cost unless that player has the materials available to pay with.

There are several types of costs: recruit costs, threshold costs, payment costs, replacement costs, endurance costs, resource point costs, additional costs, and costs in resolution.

Losing endurance is never a cost. (Paying endurance leads to losing endurance, but not vice versa.)

Bold text should answer all questions.

Also, just in case... There is a difference between PAY and LOSE.
You can't pay endurance you don't have but you can still lose it. That was a misconception we had when I started to play, so mentioning it just in case. :D
