Nice deck (+1). I really like the Lurrus of the Dream-Den + Martyr of Sands combo. Have you considered Alseid of Life's Bounty, Dauntless Bodyguard, or Resolute Watchdog to protect your creatures or provide them with another way to get through? Speaking of getting through, Augur il-Vec is a pretty good target equipment. Hope this helps.

Brutal Voltron Licia, Sanguine Tribune
6 years ago
Hey! I love the deck, I'm working on a Licia EDH deck myself and used yours as a basis.
Here's a couple more cards that could help get Licia out early: Benediction of Moons if you have a 4+ playgroup, and Augur il-Vec or Elixir of Vitality could get you a turn 4 Licia.
I also like the Razia's Purification for a board wipe, I'd choose Licia, a piece of protection and a land and go to town on my opponents.
I'm worried about removal and replaying her. Do you run into issues getting her out again?

Looks pretty darn incredible to me; +1!
You seem to go for budget, but just in case that it's just a coincidence that this deck is so cheap, I would probably switch out one of the Augur il-Vec's and one Serene Steward to bring in two Serra Ascendant's. There are so many ways for you to get to 30 life quickly, that these will really pay off.
Have a nice Christmas and End-Of_Year celebration!

Life gain aggression

Hexcimal my man, sorry for taking so long to reply to your comment, but as you can see a lot has changed in my deck. I believe I have reached its final iteration, although I'm always trying new things. I got rid of the Soulmender since it wasn't doing much and Bloodbond Vampire it came in too late to be relevant. Also changed Lone Missionary for Augur il-Vec I know it seems like a bad idea for a creature, but I bassicaly use it as controlable life gain, waiting for the best moment to sac it and get 4 life or to sac it to Hidden Stockpile and get the scry and token, this allows me to better control my draws and start the self feeding engine assuring a creature entering the battlefield every turn.
As for alternate win conditions I got a sweet infinite combo that just drains the opponents life combining Exquisite Blood and Cliffhaven Vampire. Beating my oppponent to the ground is still the main idea but this combo has won me games where the board state was unfavorable or I was way too low in lifge to risk attacking.
Removal also got some upgrades with Anguished Unmaking to eliminate anything but lands and Unmake to take out big problematic creatures. Fatal Push is still on trial period. I'm considering Path to Exile and Swords to Plowshares to replace it since they are more flexible.
Lands got pimped too, Scoured Barrens is just lovely and also cheap, the downside of Caves of Koilos is practically negligible thanks to the nature of the deck, the scry provided by Temple of Silence comes in very handy most of the time, and Shambling Vent have done a good job at blocking and attacking when I'm low on creatures or need some life gain to occur. I'm only missing to acquire the Isolated Chapel (their recent price increase hasn't helped tho, but I'll get them soon).
Let me know what you think of this new and almost final version, I'm also thinking about building a sideboard that would transform it into a B/W tokens deck, just to throw off my opponent and have two strategies in one deck.

"We Got A Bleeder!" Cliffhaven Anemia

First off thank you for the upvotes!
Really like what you did here. My playgroup is starting to get into PEDH and this is a fantastic starting point for me. I haven't played any PEDH yet so I am not sure how heavy spot removal is available in these kinds of decks. Would something like Icatian Moneychanger, Martyr of Sands, Augur il-Vec, Lone Missionary, Qarsi Sadist, Shu Farmer, Vault Skirge, Scholar of Athreos, Silent Attendant, Benediction of Moons, Death Watch, Golden Urn, Scent of Jasmine and a number of White "Gain X Life" spells fit?
I'm guessing card draw eventually becomes the main problem for this deck and you go into top-deck mode.
Any advice would be great, really looking forward to giving this a try.

Mono White LIfegain with Isochron Scepter

I'm a big fan of True Conviction and Serra Avatar in life gain decks.
If you want to go crazy, I recommend Rhox Faithmender, Alhammarret's Archive and maybe Augur il-Vec for a great target for your Celestial Mantles.
Silence, Lightning Helix and Voltaic Key can also work nicely with Isochron Scepter

Ayli, Life Gain Eternal
6 years ago
MtgNewb99 Yes it is. You play both then either gain 1 life or have an opponent lose 1 life and you kill the entire board.
chilen18 if you don't like the combo you could always just run Sanguine Bond. Still powerful in it's own right.
Some cut suggestions:
And I guess as a general tip, decide what exactly you want the deck to do and run with it. Life gain into Felidar Sovereign win? Look for cards that do that. Gain/Drain combo? Look for cards to support that. Cleric tribal? Awesome! Find some more good clerics! I'd recommend looking around at other Ayli decks to see what they got going on. If you find a theme you like you can move in that direction, or maybe it'll inspire a new idea. Hope this helps. Good Luck!

United We Stand: Selesnyan Humans

Oh, and Augur il-Vec could be something to buff for lethal by the charms and commands since he pretty much is unblockable, havent seen shadow in forever. And in my Std GW humans Hanweir Militia Captain Flip was an ace, specially if you go for the midrange game.
