Welcome to Licia's Big ol' Lazer gun!

We are going to gain a lot of life and murder people with it.

Life Gain Show

Our life gain comes in three different styles: One Shot Licia Ramp, Engine Drip, and Lifelink Creatures.

Licia Ramp

Since Licia can fairly easily 2 shot people we are playing some "bad" card that allow us to cheat her out quickly. My favorite is Hide/Seek take away a win condition of theirs and cheat Licia in.

Drip

These synergize with our overall strategy. The most important is Ob Nixilis of the Black Oath. He is pretty decent protecting himself with a 5/5 flyer and draining but if you ult him you have insane value draw.

Lifelink

These are more general life gain cards that will dissuade our opponents from attacking us. So I feel dirty playing Serra Ascendant but it allows turn three Licia.

Win Conditions Show

This is what we have been waiting for the big Laser guns.

We have Aetherflux Reservoir The biggest gun of them all. It brings life gain and says if you have 151 life win the game. My favorite thing about this one is once you are over 50 life you can hold your life total over the table. someone counters one of your spells kill them in response. Look at my life total peasants and respect my right to end you as soon as it is convenient.

Next up is Sanguine Bond/Vizkopa Guildmage which can chip down life totals. It can also be very helpful if they have an army of blockers and you can crash in with a Huge Licia. Pro tip Vizkopa Guildmage can be activated multiple times in a single turn to really turn up the damage.

Debt to the Deathless is a big mana spell that is intended to kill players. It also combos with Treasonous Ogre to spend your life total as extra mana.

Lastly, our honorable mention is Chandra's Ignition which with a big enough Licia can be lethal.
