[Pioneer] Life will Drain You
« on: December 17, 2019, 06:39:43 pm »
Life will Drain You
This is my own little lifegain/lifeloss deck I am working on. I'm trying to think of anything I may be missing or forgetting that would make it more rounded for competitive play. Please feel free to ask any questions or offer any constructive critism. Don't forget to give it a "like"

Everything in life has a cost. And behind every loss is someone else's gain. Why be the one weeping in your own tears and blood from your defeats? Why not seize opportunities? Or better yet, why not create your own?
This is a beat em up deck with taxing life loss/life gain draining your opponent while making you stronger. It also has a second wincon that allows you to cut their life total in half and when you combine "revenge" with sanguine bond or Vizkopa Guildmage, things get really nasty.
Disrupt their hand and remove those little annoyances early in the game with Thoughtseize and collective brutality and keep those gross creatures away with Fatal Push. Life is about choices.... Make the choice to enhance your life... Even if its taxing on others.

honestly, this feels worse (and much slower) than the life drain standard deck. Here are my suggestions: archangel of thune (instead of other 5 drops),
 blood-chin fanatic, leonin vanguard, resplendent angel, Scoured Barrens.
Im that type of guy who will (sometimes) beat your tier one modern deck on turn 1 with my homebrew combo deck. Check out my modern combo decks to find out how! : )

@karjin
Wow!thanks for the feedback. I'll definitely put some thought I to your suggestions and I'm sure a lot of changes will be made. Thank you. What's a good 1 cmc with lifelink? I was thinking, Thirsting Shade.

I'm not sure that doubling your life total counts as life gain. I believe it is the same as setting your life total to a certain value.
