I initially got the idea for this deck from "Life Gain fo' Days", but I have added black and modified it extensively.

This deck is mainly based off the idea of lots of Life Gain for yourself; while receiving benefits such as stronger monsters, and opponent's losing life for your life increases.

The sideboard and maybeboard are both filled with potential cards that I think would be useful in this deck.

Take a look and see which cards I should take out from the deck, and which cards from the maybeboard I should add. Thanks!
