Your playgroup would hate you faster if you insult their families.

[Ace024]

With how much they all love using lifegain decks this basically is insulting their families lol only way i could make it more insulting would be to redesign it to completely cancel lifegain

Jokes aside, if you want to outplay their lifegain decks you should simple try Infect.

I actually have one built already, it has issues against my gf because she gives herself hexproof. This deck only works so well because i can play things faster than everyone else

How does giving herself hexproof beat your infect deck? Do you proliferate a lot or something?

[Ace024]

The hexproof issue is she has Leyline of Sanctity and 2 Keen Eared Sentries, making it so i cant target her for proliferate. On top of that she has Cloudsteel Kirin, so she cant lose unless i get rid of it before reconfiguring or while it is equipped. It's my fault because i built the deck for her.

A 'normal' infect aggro deck would have won way before your gf has 5 mana available to reconfigure Kirin. I guess you should switch from Proliferate to pumpspells aggro.

[Slyvester12]

Yeah, the normal infect strategy wouldn't involve proliferate because combat tricks get there WAY faster. Proliferate shows up sometimes in EDH versions, but even then, pump spells just work better.
