Deck Description

Heartless Hidetsugu EDH




Equip the lifelink artifacts, blast the table with Hidetsugu, gain EIGHTY life. Burn them to death simultaneously.

Heartless Hidetsugu is a complete ass. I take his natural affinity to being an ass and double it, Gratuitous Violence, Furnace of Rath, and Overblaze. Gotta be careful though, he cuts my life total in half too. Enter lifesavers: Loxodon Warhammer and Basilisk Collar. So long as I can gain a little life, chances are I'm able to cut down every opponent at once with cards like Molten Disaster. But beyond that, Heartless deals DAMAGE equal to half of all life-totals. So equip him with the Hammer or Collar and you're lifelinking all the damage dealt and losing nothing. Gross right?

There are so many things to do here, this is a nasty-ass deck.

It's always a good decision to kill the table, before they kill me. If I don't win, I'm the first to lose. Not the end of the world though, I took them from 40 life to less than 10 by turn six. Feels good to deal all the damage! Haste is essential. With it, Heartless is an immediate threat that can go off at anytime. Lifelink sitting there, double damage prepped, they're scared. Playing Hidetsugu without haste usually (always) results in one dead ogre. Lightning Greaves, Fervor, Lightning Mauler, Battle Rampart, Urabrask the Hidden, Thousand-Year Elixir, Swiftfoot Boots, and Hall of the Bandit Lord are here to help.
