Lose your own life to win. What?? Yeah, it's a thing. Using Selenia, Dark Angel you can take your own life down to zero and switch life totals with opponent or opponents to win the game. Using Platinum Angel + Repay in Kind you can take your own life total down to zero without losing and make every life total zero winning the game. Phyrexian Unlife also does the same thing except you are vulnerable to poison counter damage. Other cards that switch life totals with opponents are Soul Conduit, Magus of the Mirror, and Reverse the Sands . These cards also work with Veldalken Orrey so you can flash in your cards before the stack resolves to win. Also, Triskaidekaphobia and Near-Death Experience allow you to win if you or someone else has an exact number as their life total. My favorite combo in this deck is Hatred + Selenia, Dark Angel which allows you to kill someone with commander damage, then use Tainted Sigil or Children of Korlis to get back the life you paid. If too much damage is being done to you Glacial Chasm is a good remedy for that. Other fun cards to play are Wound Reflection so your opponents have more incentive to attack each other, also ad nauseum is fun because you can draw into your combos very quickly. Thanks for reading!
