I noticed in your "Lich Only" combo section, you have "Necropotence Draw your library." You can't draw your library if you're at 0, since you can't pay the life you don't have. Not saying you can't gain life throughout your deck, just sort of throwing it out there. It seems like a nonbo to me (like if you have Platinum Emperion when you go to pay life, since you can't pay more than 0 with it in play).

Maybe Bob would be fun to put in, maybe Sorin, Grim Nemesis as well.

But deck looks great and very fun. +1

Nice deck and even better title

As a reminder, Protection of the Hekma doesn't prevent damage from your own permanents, so it does not work with some of the combos you have it labeled in currently. It does act like an extra Ghostly Prison though, so that is a plus right? Or has that part really been effective?

Also, I wonder what your feelings are one spells that revert your life total back up to it starting amount? I'm mainly thinking of Oketra's Last Mercy (at least for a recent example) but there's a surprisingly high number of cards that set your life total directly. And there's also other cards that scale with the life you've gained or lost in a single turn besides just Children of Korlis. have you considered those any?

ReaperDrek Agreed on the armor but Gisela costs so much. the CMC of this deck is already to high.

TheKing8426 Thanks for letting me know about Necropotance. I was probably thinking of using it before playing the lich but it doesnt combo, you are correct.

goldieH Thanks!

TheRedGoatYou are correct about the Hekma, Urza's armor is back in. As for life restore, I usually switch totals with my opponents. But another restore card wouldnt hurt. That way if I have to Ad Nauseam, Worship or Stunning Reversal then it would be easier to bounce back from. Do you think Oketra's Last Mercy would be better than Tainted Sigil?

Compared to the sigil, I would say no, because the sigil can scale higher than mercy and doesn't have a drawback for playing it (other than how specific the effect is). In addition to this, the main reason one might use Oketra's mercy, I imagine, is either from wanting to stabilize in a dragged out game, or to combo off with life gain doublers.

And that last part also points towards the sorcery not actually being good for your deck (thus proving my own suggestion bad). Your 3-color build has access to more powerful life gain combos than just doubling the life you gain, and resetting your life total as a means of gaining life isn't as impactful then with the other cards you have access to.

In short, your deck is already the type to play Tainted Sigil since you sacrifice your own health so freely, but Oketra's Last Mercy is better for decks that simply play aggressive and need a shot of adrenaline to stay in the game. And so saying, if you want to cut at the top end of your curve, you probably should drop Resolute Archangel (unless it has been performing well of course).

This is easily the best "Ef with life" type deck I've seen. Would you take a look at mine and tell me what you think? Don't mind dying, maybe

Pyrohemia, the Red Pestilence?

Hey man I love the look of this deck it seems really interesting. With the new sets out would you switch Lich for Lich's Mastery to give it the additional Hexproof?

Klancik I would consider it but idk if I have enough red mana. Black works really well due to Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth

Krom3 I wish Lich's Mastery worked here, but it unfortunately doesnt bring the life total to zero.
