In case you have not guessed it, this is a lifegain deck. But instead of you gaining the life, you are a nice person and you kindly give it to your opponent!

(If you can't read the title, it says "Dude, Get a Life.)

Possible variations you can make Show

1. Add white -

   Adding white adds lots of new possibilities. Fiery Justice is a super awesome card you can add. Timely Reinforcements is another solid card. Wall of Shards is a fun possibilty you can test out. Swords to Plowshares is solid removal.

2. Add black -

   Adding black changes the strategy. False Cure and the new Tainted Remedy are really cool. I can see lots of combos with them. Alms Beast is a great beater. You also get Needlebite Trap , which is a nice trap (see what I did there?).
