Life Gain, Por Favor

[The1337Magician]

Hey guys, just got the new Esper Commander deck. I'm thinking of making it only lifegain and maybe making a separate Artifact deck (which will need more work). Are there any lifegain cards that are must haves? Any recommendations?

I just typed 'life total' into the database search and selected Text instead.

Don't play {Serra Ascemdant} it should be banned in EDH a T1 6/6 Flying lifelink is a tad op and everyone hates the person who plays it

Isn't  {Felidar Sovereign} banned in edh?

[griffin131]

No. It's good but not amazing.

Blue doesn't exactly care about life gain.

Black, however, loves to drain it!

But you start at 40 life, I think it's a lot easier to win with it than in constructed. Especially if u make a lifegain deck

It (and your life total) has to survive until your next upkeep. It's not as easy as you might think in a multiplayer game when you put that kind of target on your head. I've {Scapeshift}ed into all 10 gates and {Maze's End} a couple times and lost before the maze could untap more often than I've won doing it.
