Hi,
Since a few friends have a lot of life gain I would life to build a fun deck to counter that.My idea was to make them gain life plus the life the usually gain. I know the Kavu Predator and I would life to find other creature like this one.Is there any enchantment life "if your opponent gain life, he loses that much life" ?I also need cards that I can play for no mana if my opponent gain life.
I think you know the idea and I would be greatful if you help me finding cards that going the same direction !
Thank you

Everlasting Torment Is also a nice slap in the face to life gain decks.

A quick gatherer search returned these:
Punishing Fire
Master of Cruelties
Sorin Markov
(Second ability)
Then of course you could go completely anti white/green or whatever they are playing with cards like Gloom , Yawgmoth's Edict , etc.

Wow there are amazing cards for that ! Thank you ! So should I build a low count creature deck ? Like I said I was thinking about Kavu Predator but if there are no similar cards I don't know if it's still a good idea to keep it. And that will require 3 color deck ... What do you think about the orientation of that potential deck ?

EDIT : What about when "target opponent can't gain life" and "if target opponent gain life, he loses that much life" ? What happen ?

If a player can't gain life, it is simply that. Rain of Gore / False Cure do not compliment Everlasting Torment / Sulfuric Vortex etc.
I would either focus on "You can't gain life" or "You really don't want to gain life" and build around those. Although, having all of the combinations in the deck isn't a "bad" thing but you may want a way to remove an enchantment you don't want in the meantime. For example, say you start with Sulfuric Vortex and later you draw into a Rain of Gore . You could use Abrupt Decay to remove the Sulfuric Vortex so you're Rain of Gore has an effect.
I assume after you make this deck your friends may put in a lot of Disenchant type spells so the more the merrier.

Sulfuric Vortex and Havoc Festival come to mind if you don't mind racing. Also Skullcrack is anti-life gain.
