Rulings
First, the card is discarded. Then, in turn order, each player is given the option to pay 5 life. Then, if no player paid 5 life, the card is put onto the battlefield from the graveyard.
The card is actually discarded, so anything which triggers on a discard will trigger. Such abilities will wait to go on the stack until after this ability has completely resolved.
