Title: Lifegain creatures/spells
Post by: Slenderbro on May 13, 2013, 10:29:18 PM
I'm making a deck based around  {Blood Baron of Vizkopa}, and i need spells and creatures to gain the needed life while dealing damage.

I have heroes reunion, debt to the deathless, and centaur healer already.

I have a life/token {G}{W} deck. I like  {Healer of the Pride} and  {Bountiful Harvest} and even  {Swift Justice}.  {Chalice of Life} looks good for  {Blood Baron of Vizkopa} decks.

Added chalice for sure, contemplating the rest as to what to take out in place of.

I like  {Vizkopa Guildmage} with the baron. Speeds up his max ability really nicely.

{Tithe Drinker}. Lifelink for 2 if you can attack or need to chump block, extortion engine even if sitting on the sideline to gain you life that way. {Gift of Orzhova} can also turn one of your other earlier drops (like a centaur healer) into an evasive, life linking beat-machine.

Is this supposed to be Standard?

Start with  {Crypt Ghast} to help accelerate your mana, and meanwhile using extort when possible. A fat creature ({Desecration Demon} for example) with {Dying Wish} attached can really swing some life totals when killed. Also use  {Essence Harvest} as an earlier debtless.if you need to.
You could also use the enchantment  {Exquisite Blood} to speed things up a tad.

{Rhox Faithmender} if you want, it works wonders with extort and even small LL guys like {Vampire Nighthawk}. Also helps set off the
{Chalice of Life} much quicker.

I think {Rhox Faithmender} is a must! And {Tithe Drinker}, glad you mentioned her Gorzo! I love {Child of Night}. They just gave her white and said "Here's a little more power" XD

Junk Life dude. {Thragtusk}, {Centaur Healer}, {Vampire Nighthawk}, and pretty much everything already mentioned. You can even run {Sorin, Lord of Innistrad}. He's so hard to deal with in the right decks, and he's mean. And the new almost-{Armadillo Cloak}! Lemme check the name.

EDIT: {Unflinching Courage}! Can you imagine {Thragtusk} with that thing? Good gravy dude... This deck sounds awesome!

Making a standard deck, i could use exquisite blood but it seems like there are better things to add.
