Limbs Of Life

by Kumion on 04 August 2014

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (25 cards)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

This is a brainstorm for a Lifegain deck, which ive thought about throughout different series, but i really dont know what should be in there and what not.

wall of limbs are a good base for it, since it gains many counters fast and can hit for a ton if its ability gets activated.

but whats youre thoughts and advice ?

only Cards from M14 and forward are used cause of future use.

How to Play

the idea is to fill the board with lifegaining effects, so that you can keep the game going till your Wall of Limbs can be a factor and taking a large chunk of the opponents life total.

a bunch of low cost creatures and token spells to fill up the board, and then giving them lifelink from Cruel Feeding or just plain overrun with tokens and launch the fleet+Brimaz+Angelic Accord

but is it a "to hard to get" combination, or can it be simplified to be more effective.

Deck discussion for Limbs Of Life

ive put a bunch into the sideboard, which was first on the main board for the deck, but some had to go, and the deck wasnt that creature heavy enough for my taste.
but whats your thoughts ?

I would personally say take out the maggot for the scholar of Atheros, as over the time she is more likely to gain you more life, and the fact that she comes out faster, hurts your opponent for only 1w drop in toughness, id say that it was worthwhile. Also you need at least 4 kill cards in a deck. So I would take out cruel feeding and add Drown in Sorrow? most of your guys and survive it and it thins out that early aggro!

I might take out the feindslayer as well and put in a sanguine bond?

this makes the deck more defensive, but then again all your late game is defensive and all your early is offensive so its kind of on the edge right now...

ive made a few changes as you recommended.
definately dont have that much, to take care of oncoming mobs, so Drown in Sorrow would Work nicely, and for a minimal cost.

would Agent of the Fates be worth putting in ? i mean, dont have that many Target spells that would benefit properly. just a thought

I think agent needs to be in a deck designed to use him and you only really have 2 triggers, otherwise he is a little overcosted... I would say that pharirka's chosen or Baleful Eidolon do the same kind of job if you want a death touchier. :)

If your worried about indestructible try having Banishing Light or guild in the sideboard to death with those game 2.
Also looking at your deck you don't really have much to stand in the way of flying... as you don't have enough to really activate the priest properly, I would say put the sungrase Pegasus into the main, instead of the battle priests.

I would also suggest replacing the launch the fleet and one raise the alarm with two read the bones, as the minor life loss should not bother you, and the smoothing of 4 cards for 3 mana is a good effect for keeping your hand relevant.

Hope this helps!

If you can get a Pegasus out turn 2, then if you get a drown in sorrow out turn 5 you should kill of most of those pesky flyers, as they will mainly be sprits buffed by some kind of spell.
