Standard Life Gain

by Shadowfoxxx on 09 July 2012

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

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

General ideas for the deck:
Make lots of tokens, mainly for blocking.
Get as many Blood artists on the field as possible.
Let tokens die and gain life.

The bigger Angels are in there to generate more tokens or gain massive amounts of life if I have a token army out. I'm trying really hard not to make this into a W/B token deck so I don't have any anthems except for the Builder's Blessing because I want to play the game defensively.

Draw mechanic is mainly the Harvester of Souls, but I'm not sure what else I could put in his place.

I want to get some Days of Judgement or something like it into the deck but I don't know what to move around and take out. Suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks

Sorin, Lord of Innistrad? That would be awesome in this deck I believe

Honestly I don't think he would. He would work ok as a token generator, but I could also put a Doomsayer in here if i wanted to just kick out tokens. I know the emblem might be a lot of fun, but I honestly want to sacrifice as many tokens as I can and kill by a Blood Artist victory over attacking with shear numbers.

I don't really like him either ^_^ but he is kind of fun in this deck. The 7 card draw makes him really useful when looking for another blood artist or Unburial Rites.

The mana curve is a bit high imo, Cathedral Sanctifier, Doomed Traveler are good additions for low mana cost, also, Cathars' Crusade is great in this kind of desk. Hope it helps, please comment my deck if have time, http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=359016

Yeah the mana curve is extremely high. ( see my old life death deck for even higher >.<). I do need to work some lower casting costs in there. I like the idea of the Sanctifies, because of the life gain. I could see hoe the Crusade would be great with all the tokens coming in, but what would I take out in order for it to have a place?
