Life Gain Deck Ideas

Deck Help forum

I am looking to build a fast, effective life gain deck that make my life total skyrocket into the triple digits. Combos would be great, also I don't care what format they are from. Thinking about making it a control deck too, then using Felidar Sovereign when I get bored with gaining life. Thank you in advance for your posts!

ELVES!!!!!!!! ELVES ELVES ELVES ELVES ELVES ELVES ELVES ELVES ELVES and more ELVES!!!! Wellwisher nissa OMG i love elf life gain you can throw in Felidar Sovereign as a lil kitty for all the elves to play with... also you could use Essence Warden + Elvish Promenade for lots of creatures to get even more life from the wishers and nissa and while we are playing with elv-ie welv-ie tokens add not one not three BUT BOTH rhysi (Rhys the Exiled and Rhys the Redeemed ) the first one attack away and watch your life SKY ROCKET and the other combo with all those tokens to get mega-super-chocolaty-coated-extra-special life gain with Essence Warden (BOOOOOM CRAP TON OF LIFE) tap Wellwisher (BOOOOOM CRAP TON OF LIFE) use Nissa Revane well you get the idea

True Conviction . 'Nuff said. :)

If your wanting to abuse soul sisters... But keeping it standard, your gonna have to either play with the younger ones :)

One approach to a life gaining deck which shouldn't be too hard would be to make it green/white, and use cards like Leyline of Vitality .

Run a mix of green and white weenie cards, and token generators. Oh, and of course you could ad in a few True Conviction 's for damage. You could run with Mitotic Slime for preparation of the day-of-judgement cards that's doing the rounds in the current meta.

Though, to be honest, without Vengevine , your not gonna be surviving too long unless you can Fog quite a bit to keep your life total up.

But heh, thats just my 2 cent's worth. :)

I think both those ideas are good, I really wanted both deck types, elves are a great idea, and I have wanted a good one for some time now. I just also want to laugh at my Friday opponents as well, when I defeat them with 100 times their life total.
