Zero Life Concept Idea*help*

by zeezak on 26 August 2013

Main Deck (61 cards)

Sideboard (10 cards)

Creatures (2)


Artifacts (4)

Enchantments (4)

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

The idea I got for this deck is to have zero life and act like you do not care. You have alot of bonus protection in this deck if it be from the Asceticism or the Cloaks. If you know they might have something up there sleeve, you toss out the telepathy then the mage to cancel any future things you might see. It is extremely helpful.

BUT the idea of this is to get to zero life and look like you have no recovery, then level up your hydra to atleast 15. It looks like you cant win right? Flip the Tree of Redemption out and grab your 13 life, destroy the platinum angel and boom win condition.

Just A Concept Idea I have. If im onto something the help would be greatly appreciated!

How to Play

So i have this idea but I need some more work. i was thinking about meddling mage but I did not want to add white. Anything you guys could do will be helpful!

I suggest you change your win condition, instead of the hydra use helix pinnacle and you can add a couple of Heartbeat of Spring and or Into the Wilds to increase your mana fast.

Don't rely entirely in the platinum have some other options, Dissipation Field can protect you a little bit.

finally you don't have enough blue mana to reliably cast the counterspells, add some simic guildgates and evolving wilds so you have some extra blue mana.

I would suggest he drop 2 asceticisms for some more land. Instead of the guildgate I would run Hinterland Harbor. Itll be a little faster for him. Maybe try some Dawn's Reflection? Helix Pinacle is a pretty sweet card.

I do like the Helix. That is a great addition to it. Dawn's Reflection not so much. Dissipation Field is great though. Will make a nice distraction and kill time.

Hm I am puzzled. A "zero life concept" without black or white? I expected Lich, Lich's Tomb, Transcedence, something like that.

Anyway, the Platinum Angel is the only card that supports your main idea, shouldn't you have more than one then? Or at least a way to tutor for it?

And you still don't have enough blue mana to support UU counterspells. If you have counterspells mainly to protect your Platinum Angel or other creatures, Confound is the better choice for you.

Also, maybe read the Platinum Angel again. It does NOT prevent yourself from winning. It's not Persecutor Demon. That means you do not have to get rid of it in order to win. In fact you do not even have to go back to positive life in order to win.
