Life Manipulation for the win

Standard WB (Orzhov)

nfcnorth


A troll deck inspired by a troll commander deck one of my friends runs. Modified for the standard format and to include Triskaidekaphobia. Basically the idea here is to kill the opponent with Tree of Perdition and Triskaidekaphobia or Tainted Remedy + Triskaidekaphobia with the later I can chose to gain life every turn and then slowly drain my opponents out. Also fun fact Tree of Perdition + Tainted Remedy is silly since life exchanges are considered life gain/life loss. So any life total exchanges where my opponent would gain life they lose that much instead.

The creatures in this deck other than the tree all serve a purpose of finding the combo and or getting pieces out of the graveyard. Liliana, the Last Hope serves a very similar purpose here as I can use her minus to get back an Auramancer to get any combo enchantments I need, Get Sidsi back so I can tutor what I want or get back the tree if it gets killed. Plus since I am running both Starfield of Nyx and Auramancer it can actually be a good thing to mill a key enchantment since it may let me dodge a discard/counterspell if I play it properly and I am in a certian situations.

Blessed Alliance and Collective Brutality are in the deck as they both can dome the opponent (alliance needs Tainted Remedy out) while serving other purposes. Languish is pretty self explantory as this deck is trying to set up a couple specific combos so I need to make sure I don't die while doing so.

As for the lands the main lands of importance is Caves of Koilos and Shambling Vent which I consider uncuttable in this deck. Why are those lands uncuttable in this deck you might ask? Simple they can manipulate my life total which is very important when I am playing Triskaidekaphobia since it can kill me too
