There's a lot of variable in that situation. There are other life gain combos that work a little easier than that and stay within the color. Cast {thragtusk} gain five life. Next turn cast {disciple of bolas} targeting the value beast. Gain five life an draw five cards from the trigger. 10 life, only two cards. If you have a blood artis out that would be 11 life plus one lost for your opponent.

Or {Cloudshift} him. {Conjurer's Closet} could work too. Giving you 5 life and a beast each turn.

Definitely true, but you have to go to a third color for white. {Conjurers closet} definitely works and can get out of hand really fast. I like the card draw from the {disciple of bolas} more myself because it's used in a BUG contol deck.
