Life is fleeting

by Morty on 17 September 2015

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (18 cards)

Instants (7)


Enchantments (6)

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

Tainted Remedy plus lifegain spells makes for some pretty nice "burn" in WB. Also, instakill with Beacon of Immortality.

Anyone think this could work in Modern with a few changes? For example, 4 Devour Flesh instead of Swords to Plowshares?

How to Play

Get Tainted Remedy out and teach your opponent that life is fragile and inevitably ends in unavoidable death.

dang, wall of shards is really awesome here. I missed it when I was making my Tainted Remedy deck. will have to side board it because of pure awesomeness.

cruel feeding is also an interesting choice here. the life link is super nice.

Thanks for the input. I just got all the cards together and will be testing this baby in the next few weeks.
Will see if Congregate, Cruel Feeding and Auramancer have a real place in this or if they're easily replaced with better cards.
You also mentioned Beacon being too expensive in CMC but as a 1-of, I think it's great. Gives more value to the tutors after Tainted Remedy is out.

as a 1 of, sure it certainly doesn't hurt to have an instant kill card. in this deck it essentially says: target player loses the game.
so I can certainly see the value in that. like I said, I almost put it in my own, but I am sucker for little cheap cards rather than the big ones. although that philosophy may not apply in this particular style of deck.

let me know how this runs. I would be really interested to hear.

Thanks! Wall of Shards is such a great card for this. Really love how Tainted Remedy turns the disadvantages of cards into huge boons.
Beacon may seem a little cheap, being an instakill and all but it just fits so perfectly that I decided to run one of it (if I ran more of it I'd feel dirty ^^ ).

I'm a horrible person, I just like watching someones face when they realize something so unexpected like that just happened. XD I feel a little bad, but oh so good lol. I have a sliver deck with the Exquisite blood and Vizkopa guildmage combo thrown into it for fun. No one ever pays attention to Vizkopa until its too late, since they are distracted by the slivers XD

Thanks for taking a look at my deck btw! Always love hearing others opinions and suggestions.
