Everything everyone does costs life. That is the theme. It is a Kambal deck at heart but I wanted to splash red for some spice and extra life taxing. It is a stax deck but everyone can still play, at a price of some life points. I got the idea from an episode of Yu-Gi-Oh of all places. There was a one off character that treated his life points as a currency and warped the game as such.

This is a rough draft and untested but it looks fun. The mana obviously needs work but I'm still deciding if i want to run a budget or premium land base.

I also have some head scratcher cards in my deck that I'm not going to budge on removing because they look fun. Specifically; Goblin Game, Mages' Contest, Illicit Auction, and Null Chamber. I feel like these cards are not all that great but I need to cast them a few times before removing them.

I would appreciate/open any and all tips/suggestions as long as they are constructive. Let me know what you think.
