So a new card was spoiled today in the core set for 2020 and I'm a little confused.

When you pay life for an activated ability does it count as damage?

Well, actually I guess I should clarify. I assume youre talking about Vilis. His activated ability will cause his passive ability to trigger, so youll draw cards when you activate it by paying 2 life.

It doesn't count as damage.

If you're talking about Vilis, Broker of Blood, though, it does count as loss of life for its triggered ability. Damage causes loss of life, but they aren't equivalent.
