Deck discussion for Drain and Gain

Contaminated bond is just as bad a card as Vectis Dominator. You're giving your opponent the choice to pay 3 life, or attack/block with his/her supercreature. It's not a complete shutdown, because there's plenty of examples where blocking with that creature is well worth paying 3 life. If you take a card such as Pacifism, you pay the same CMC, but you're sure that creature will NEVER engage combat again.

Interesting deck. I agree with Tom, but in this case you ARE trying to drain their life, so giving them the choice to lose more or to tap the creature does seem to fit. Pacifisim works, but Pillory of the Sleepless is just that much better, because you gain life. Basically, this deck is meant to really get your opponents PO'd at you, and slow loss of life will do that unfailingly. Might want to look at some Souls of the Faultless as well, good defender for a deck like this.
