Circle of Life

by Sirus on 19 September 2012

Main Deck (64 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

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

Gain life and use cards that play off of life.
With a few turns, you have the chance of gaining life multiplicitively and having very powerful creatures that can be protected with Spirit Mantle.

2 possible scenarios:

Ajani's Pridemate + Spirit Mantle + Luminous Wake
w/ Chalice of Life + Ajani's Mantra
I've won game with this combo many times. Having an unblockable Ajani's Pridemate with 8 counters on it is hard to deal with, especially when there is more than one on the battlefield.

or

Rhox Faithmender + Serra Avatar + Wall of Reverence
Quadrupling your life every turn. What's more satisfying than winning? Having you opponent forfeit because you have 200+ life

Deck discussion for Circle of Life

You've got all the key cards for a very potent Life Gain - well done ! :D The only card I would suggest is

"Boon Reflection" from Shadowmoor

White Enchantment - CMC4{W}

If you would gain life, you gain twice that much life instead

Just a thought :)
Could you maybe help me with my White deck? I feel its missing something, just dunno what it is, hehe :)

Rhox Faithmender is an infinitely better candidate for the job. Not only does he have the exact same effect as Boon Reflection, but he costs 1 less mana and is a 1/5 with life link. He's probably my favorite card of all time.

Didn't notice him - but yeah, you're completely right ! He would send Boon Reflection crying home, truely a white power card :-)

Imo, Transcendent Master and Felidar Sovereign are not necessary here, considering the build you did. I would recommend to cut to 60 cards for more consistent, and Lifelink, simple but good card, could be useful, specially in the first turns to make Serra Ascendant big quickly, and the Serra Avatar makes huge too. If have time, please comment my deck too, http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=386525

That's just the way I make most of my decks. After getting mana fucked and mana flooded a lot when I first started playing magic, I've found the most consistent way to build mana into my non-mana ramp decks is to have 64 cards, 24 of which are mana, and 40 creatures, sorceries and whatever. That archetype has never fucked me over. Also, the reason I have Transcendence Master and Felidar Sovereign in this deck is because I had them lying around and kind of wanted to use them. Felidar Sovereign doesn't really work with this deck, but Transcendence Master has worked pretty well the few times I've actually gotten him out.

If you go the distance with this deck it might be nice for you to have akromas memorial for its trample ability + serra avatar game over

Really doesn't fit anywhere in this deck. Did you just pick a random card from memory and suggest it. While I'm at it, I'll put Stuffy Doll and Mogg Flunkies in this deck too.
