This is my take on Death Shadow that I feel is more resilient against decks like burn that feed off of the lifing ourself to death strategy. Phyrexian Unlife makes us very hard to kill without mainboard enchantment hate and with the new addition of Final Payment we can get rid of tons of life with reliable removal, Tasigur, Angler, and Lingering Souls are all great back up win cons. in the sideboard we have 2 Worships to deal with either pithing needle or surgical effects on our phyrexian Unlife, solemnity is hilarious to play against either infect but funnier against grixis who can't effectively deal with enchantments and if they don't have an echoing truth it is basically an auto scoop if you stick it with phyrexian Unlife. Then we have a couple board wipes and damping Spheres to deal with swarm and Tron or storm decks. Enjoy making your opponents pull there hair out with this deck!
