If you would pay life while your library has at least that many cards in it, exile that many cards from the top of your library instead.
+1: Look at the top two cards of your library. Exile one of them and put the other into your hand.
−2: Create two 1/1 black Nightmare creature tokens with "At the beginning of combat on your turn, if a card was put into exile this turn, put a +1/+1 counter on this token."
−7: Target player exiles the top X cards of their library, where X is the total mana value of cards you own in exile.
