Hello Papillo, there are quite a few possibilities with Pain's Reward but you usually always gain something out of it :
It can help trigger your combo because your could bid an arbitrary high value of life, regain it with Children of Korlis/Tainted Sigil and then deal that much damage to the opponent with Vizkopa Guildmage
It can help draw 4 cards for your combo even if you don't deal damage
If you have less life than your opponent you can still use it with Tainted Sigil to regain life if they bid higher than you.
