About Ali from Cairo
Ali from Cairo, Creature — human, designed by Mark Poole first released in Dec, 1993 in the set Arabian Nights and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 527.48.
Ali from Cairo would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on aggressive strategies and wants to protect its life total from sudden bursts of damage. While Ali from Cairo offers a unique ability to prevent your life total from dropping below 1, there are better options like Platinum Emperion or Platinum Angel that provide similar effects with additional benefits. Ultimately, Ali from Cairo may not see much play in competitive Magic: the Gathering decks due to its limited utility compared to other cards available.
Rules
10/04/04
This effect does not apply to effects which reduce your life without doing damage.
10/04/04
This effect does not prevent damage, it prevents the damage from turning into loss of life. So the full damage is dealt (and abilities that trigger on damage being dealt still trigger), but the full loss of life is not applied.
