The goal is to make your opponents draw themselves to death. This is done through gaining abilities, enchantments, artifacts, etc. that have a life loss trigger for drawing, and then forcing your opponents to draw an excessive amount of cards. There are also cards that punish an opponent discarding so that when they exceed their maximum hand-size and have to discard, they lose life there too. I even have some cards that will make you lose life for simply having below or above a certain amount of cards in your hand, so it would be really difficult with all these draw and discard triggers happening to maintain a certain hand-size and not lose any life. There are also some safeguards against these effects for me, since some of these effects do apply to me too, such as giving me unlimited hand-size, cards that allow me to get my graveyard back, and some small amount of lifegain. This deck works best in 3+ player games, as people tend to like the card draw at the cost of (at the time) very little life, and will keep you around. Great for board politics. Once your board position is set up, the damage will start to slowly become very problematic for everyone.

Let me know what you think!! Suggest new cards or cards to remove, or even tell me any bigger problems you might see. I'd appreciate it.
