This may not be needed after Drum's response, but below is the what the answer is referring to.

It wouldn't work without having previously cast a card on the same turn. If you had, then that would then resolve when you paid the cost that would bring your when your life to 0 (so it must be one without the condition of it coming from an attack or on the opponenet's turn, etc...)

Excerpted from the Detailed Rules

"1.1. Declare the monster you wish to call... 1.3. If that call fulfills the conditions of a Buddy Call, decide if you wish to make it a Buddy Call. ... 1.6. At the same time, the cost of the called card must be paid. 1.7. ★ Resolution Check ★"

The Resolution Check is what would end the game if you hadn't used the type of card Drum was talking about.

"The fighter loses if his or her life would reach 0..."

Good question though. I actually use a similar strategy in Katana World because they have such terrible life gain😊
