Cut of the Profits Ashiok interaction
Hi, I just spent several rare and mythic wildcards crafting a deck oriented around the above interaction. As far as I can see, Ashiok should trigger on casting Cut of the Profits, but it did not in the game I just played. I sacrificed one of my creatures to trigger Casualty 3 in addition to casting the spell for five mana (two black plus five generic). I had sufficient cards in my deck, but I drew five cards and lost five life (x2) instead of losing no life and drawing five cards and exiling five cards (x2). Please can you confirm if I am correct in my reading of the cards and this interaction should have been triggered?

Cut of the Profits makes you lose life, not pay life. Ashiok only cares about the later.
