Sideboard


Maybeboard


Shameless copy of Tomer's budget list with minor tweaks.

Losing life on purpose is a pretty janky combo. The ultimate pipe dream is Near-Death Experience . Winning with Revel in Riches along with Smothering Tithe would also suffice in exasperating my friends. Triskaidekaphobia would be fun with Tree of Perdition in a perfect world. I threw in the Bloodchief Ascension and Mindcrank loop for lolz, but it's safe to assume these plans will not work out.

Perhaps the best way to pilot this is using burst life loss/life gain. There are lots of ways to lose life, but Children of Korlis can turn that into massive life gain. Eternity Vessel , Gray Merchant of Asphodel and Congregate are slightly situational but can be great. This life gain combos with Vizkopa Guildmage and Sanguine Bond . Or I can just trade my low life with opponents using Axis of Mortality or Repay in Kind .

I've included Platinum Angel , Angel's Grace and Stunning Reversal to help not die. I sideboarded Phyrexian Unlife and Solemnity because they're only useful when I have both out, and they are not in the top 10 of cards I would tutor for. It's nice to save Glacial Chasm until the board state gets scary because the cumulative upkeep really snowballs. Life gain from extort, Authority of Consuls and the Soul sisters helps too.

Card draw, ramp, removal and recursion round out the list.
