I love the idea of playing as a D&D spell-slinging, thrawl taking lich. So, hello Dralnu, take your boots, spells, pacts with demons, and kick ass and take stuff!

See, Dralnu does enjoy good ole flashbacks and casting things multiple times, but why not take other peoples stuff to help ya take the cake?

Win-cons include but are not limited to, recasting Army of the Damned , getting Omniscience out and casting AAAALL the things with some Razzle Dazzle aka Razaketh, the Foulblooded ... and then there’s of course the win-cons that you take from others... they can be nice. Paradox Engine has shown to win games quickly because of the number of mana rocks along with Isochron Scepter with any 2 mana instant and 2 mana worth of mana rocks leads to infinite cast-triggers.

One of the most effective win-conditions that I have found is playing Omnicience as soon as possible and then casting one of the following tutors: Spellseeker , Demonic Tutor , Dark Petition , or Rune-Scarred Demon . If it’s any other tutor than Spellseeker then you tutor for it. Play the seeker for free, tutor a second tutor, then get Rune-Scarred Demon, and have the Rune-Scarred Demon tutor for Razaketh, the Foulblooded. When you cast Razaketh for free, use his ability to pay 2 life and sacrifice a creature, targeting the seeker. With the sacrifice-tutor, going for Army of the Damned and casting that for free. Then you can tutor up whatever you want and you have plenty of zombies to sacrifice with Razaketh.
