This deck is all about Choices. It gives your opponent many options, but all of them are between bad and worse.

Sword-Point Diplomacy and Risk Factor are the cards we're talking about. These two cards either give you enormous advantage or solid damage to the face, as your opponent's life wears down the Bad Life Choices get tougher and tougher!

5 board-wipes means we're trying to go nearly creatureless 2x Phyrexian Scriptures + 3x Ritual of Soot

While we're discussing bad life choices you may turn yourself into a zombie in this deck... or a dinosaur, or better yet! A ZOMBIE DINOSAUR! using Lich's Mastery + Form of the Dinosaur (It's fun to point out that if you do become a Zombie-Dinosaur you can use damage triggers to "cure" one or both of those effects since Lich's mastery lets you exile permanents)

Maybe these 2 cards don't seem very powerful but they greatly extend your life expectancy!
