Title: Another strange deck idea
Post by: Birdbrain on May 04, 2013, 08:29:38 PM
Could a deck be built were you win by damaging yourself?

Figured it out. Ill base it around the "fateful hour" mechanic and {near death experience}

Its a GTC orzhov card that lets you pay any amount of life when it enters, you can find it im sure, its costs 5 and it pretty bad otherwise

{phyrixan unlife} wouldn't work because it doesn't keep you at 1 life. And there is no way to win that way I don't think

I've been working on one of these for awhile.  I can't seem to get it just right.  I'm bringing my life down at will with {wall of blood} and {immolating souleater}.

Im saying in case you get yourself down but dont have a way to win(i.e. they find a way to stop you) then you get 10 extra life

Why wont you respond to my pm?
Title: Re: Another strange deck idea
Post by: Birdbrain on May 04, 2013, 09:55:46 PM
Also, there are no fateful hour cards in black, so ill pass on the Orzhov card

And I like living on the edge. So I'm not using The unlife card either

personally. I'd rather use the wall than the eater, because its in 1 mana intervals. While the other is 2 mana intervals

The souleater is nice because it doesn't matter what colors you're running.
Title: Re: Another strange deck idea
Post by: adventus on May 04, 2013, 10:20:56 PM
{death's shadow} is really nice in this deck too

By the way, use him with the soul sisters, and give them all hexproof...your opponent won't ever attack you XD
