Deck Description

Creature based life gain deck. 5 Creatures and 5 Mana can cause 20 damage to your opponents. This is possible on turn 4 as long as two of those creatures are a tap-able Golden Myr and one of the Vizkopa Guildmages. Simply activate the Guildmage's second ability for 3 and then play 2x Peach Garden Oath, or 2x Foul-Tounge Shriek, or mix and match one of each.

How to Play

The core mechanism is to gain life for the number of creatures you have, using Peach Garden Oath, or the number of creatures you control that are attacking, with Foul-Tongue Shriek and/or Brutal Hordechief. Vizkopa guildmage lets you turn life gain for you into life loss for your opponents and is a primary way to win. Note that the Guildmage's ability hits *all* opponents so you can potentially wipe a field with him.

The Foul-Toung Shriek and Hordechief abilities cause life loss to your opponent regardless of whether your creatures actually cause combat damage so remember to attack with your 0/1 Goldenglow moths if you have them out.

Children of Korlis, Goldenglow Moths, and Blessed Reversal are all great defensively and it is possible to combine them into significant damage to your opponent if you have the Guildmage out. Use Seek to learn your opponent's deck and remove key cards then sideboard in Lost Legacy for later matches. Seek and Blessed Reversal are the most likely cards to swap out when you do that.
