Goal
Teeter on the brink of death, then use
Axis of Mortality
to switch your life with your opponent and win.
Creatures
Adanto Vanguard
: Only costs two mana; and has a useful, repeatable activated ability that can bring your life low quickly and keep itself on the board.
Glorifier of Dusk
: Costs a little more than the vanguard, but just like the above it has useful, repeatable activated abilities at a lower cost. As you get closer to 0 life, you can use these abilities without overstepping your limits.
Utilities
Final Payment
: Get rid of anyone for a nice chunk of life.
Font of Agonies
: Make use of all the life you are paying. You'll accumulate a lot of counter for this enchantment, then blow up your opponent's creatures.
Kaya's Wrath
: Speaking of blowing up the battlefield, wipe it out completely with confidence.
Blazing Hope
: Useful towards the later stages of this stupid strategy.
Mortify
: A very useful card for creatures and annoying enchantments.
Lich's Mastery
: Drop it
Axis of Mortality
on the battlefield, the drop this guy the next turn after when you're nearing the end of your life points.
Sphinx’s Decree
: Hopefully it's enough to shut down any noncreature answers your opponents may have before your next winning up keep.
Sovereign's Bite
: Maybe you just need one more extra push to end your opponent's life. Here you go!
