Life Gain

by BXRVN on 19 May 2013

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (22 cards)

Enchantments (2)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Cards in the sideboard aren't exactly the sideboard, they're just cards and their quantities to consider either making room for or adding. Any suggestions would very much be appreciated.

I'd say I have a 2-3.0 Win-Loss average with this deck. Not too bad I think :)

P.S. I tend to play 3-4 player FFA games quite often so take that into consideration when looking at the cards please.

P.P.S This isn't my idea originally, but I am playing with it and would like to see if I can improve it in any way

How to Play

Win conditions in this deck I have found to work is to either overrun everyone with tokens or clear the field with Elspeth and have an open road from there on.

Deck discussion for Life Gain

First thing I thought of was Martial Coup. It could serve as a huge boardwipe and equalizer. You can probably get it off easier than Elspeth (who, is notoriously hard to 'get off'- hue hue hue)

Overall though, you need to remember that lifegain doesn't win you the game. It prevents you from losing it. The distinction is absolutely huge. If you're intent on gaining life, consider doing it more efficiently so you need fewer cards dedicated (Martyr of Sands(?), Baneslayer Angel, Batterskull, True Conviction, select things that give huge lifegain) and/or things that actually benefit from you having higher life totals - felidar Sovereign, Serra Ascendant, Serra Avatar, so you can really beat face.
