Build a mill deck!!!! Love playing mill! Doesn't matter. If they don't have a card to draw, life total is mute.

{Worldfire} and {Rift Bolt}
or {Quicken}, {Worldfire} and pretty much any burn spell. Cast burn spell, before it resolves, {Quicken} your {Worldfire}. Worldfire resolves putting them to one life, burn spell resolves putting them to <1 life.

Oh, you just comboed into infinite life? Too bad...

My friend had that deck too. It focused on copying {Slaughter Games} as many times as possible. Then copying it again. One of my other friends named it Bob Barker, because it neuters the opponents' decks. xD
