Deck discussion for deck challenge: life switch

use tresspassing souleater dude. bring yourself to either 2 or 1, since you used the effect it's unblockable. use soul conduit then attack for win.

I am concerned with your dependance on CMC 6 solutions to your lost life. Many opponents will expect to swing for a full 20 damage by that turn and you are making the goal easier for them in the early game. Even if you play down a Phyrexian Unlife, you are still a timb bomb to killing yourself, you are subject to enchantment removal and putting yourself at further risk from the rampant infect decks that are out now.

I am not sure I have all the answers on this one. You could run Children of Korlis as an early game renewal option when you have all these abilites to sac off you life. Maybe you should look at pain to draw options and run Solitary Confinement.

Also, I would like to see Transcendance at least sideboarded on this deck.

the eternity vessel's are more of a secondary method of getting myself to 0 life (with hexmage) and the point of the deck challenge was to use soul conduit to switch life totals so that one kind of had to go in. I am curious as to what you mean by "pain to draw options".

I was thinking of things like Book of Rass and Greed; there are certainly similar effects on instants... basically effects where you can spend life to maintain draw while sequestered. It might be a very viable way to build up the mana curve to soul conduit. (and get your life where you want it at the same time)

ok, just checking. I do have greed already in there, along with dark tutelage, sign in blood, and ad nauseum I'd say I have the pain to draw fairly well covered.
