Messing around with exile. This is meant for commander, as it would be silly in Modern.
Take 2:

I feel like the lifelink might be a bit much, since it completely negates the alternate cost.

T1: Chrome Mox (exile this), Plains, Lightning Greaves, pay 6 life to play ~, equip and swing for 5 and gain 5 T1. I like things like this :)

Yeah, so if you cut the lifelink and make the life cost 7 then it should balance it I think.

Alright, got rid of Lifelink, raised the cost by 1 life, and added Vigilance

Lifelink was the reason why she was playable. Lets say they cast Lingering Souls. If you want to get through, you'll need to attack and kill both, which means you'll need to pay 12-14 life. A legendary that kills itself when it is blocked isn't exactly ideal.

T1: Chrome Mox, Mountain, pay 6 life, Assault Strobe, Mutagenic Growth, Titan's Strength --> Turn 1 kill

I agree with lemmingllama without lifelink its unplayable.

But with lifelink it's a bit too good. I mean, you basically got an almost free 5/8 with haste and flying.

What if you replaced the haste in the second version with lifelink? Now you have to wait a turn or have a haste outlet out before you can swing with her

How about dropping Lifelink in favor of Trample and drop the life cost to 5?
That way you get some of the damage through, and you don't die too soon from Sharian yourself...

Hmmm this is definitely an interesting design, but I would say to lower the cost and remove keywords, because it balances itself out more when you are paying only life for a 5-drop for example. Here's what I'd be recommending:
Name 
Flying
You may cast ~ from exile by paying 1/4 of your life total, rounded up, rather than ~'s mana cost.
When ~ blocks or is blocked by a creature, it gains lifelink until end of turn.
When a creature dealt damage this turn by ~ dies, exile ~ at the end of combat.
5/5

Looks pretty cool! I could see wonders being done with Cold Storage and Bottled Cloister and such as well.
