Convalescent Care

Enchantment

At the beginning of your upkeep, if you have 5 life or less, you gain 3 life and draw a card.

If I have not already said this, I would like to see both Convalescent Care and Phyrexian Tyranny reprinted in this set, since they have never been reprinted, but would look excellent in the new card frame style.

Also, given that Akroma's Vengeance has been reprinted several times, I would like to see Akroma's Blessing be reprinted, as well.

RandomZombie88 I'll drop what I do in my deck with lich:

Convalescent Care draw +4 on upkeep

Illusions of Grandeur draw +20 and loss of life never effects you

Second Chance gain a turn for 3 mana

Words of Worship draw lots

Ivory Tower changes the "meh" artifact into a draw on upkeep

BerniB With the change in the ruling from HOU Death's Shadow is unable to get bigger than 13/13 from low life total.

107.1b If a calculation that would determine the result of an effect yields a negative number, zero is used instead, unless that effect sets a player’s life total to a specific value, doubles a player’s life total, or sets a creature’s power or toughness to a specific value.

I would say it's a fun way to play with Zur and I like the concept of playing like a Lich. For those specific cards however it is too slow, I would rather run either more card draw or tutors in place of them and have either one or two cards that are easily more accessible to cast or grab with Zur. Convalescent Care is just too slow, I get that it has synergy with Lich but there are other ways to get value than just waiting one turn.

I like the idea of running a 200/200 Death's Shadow. Necromancy is fetchable with Zur. Do you think exchanging life totals doesn't work well or is it too slow and cost intensive? Illusions of Grandeur is going to get cut. What about the draw ability of Convalescent Care?

Reverse the Sands, Avacyn, Angel of Hope, Sen Triplets, Death's Shadow, Mirror Universe, Convalescent Care, and Illusions of Grandeur can be cut. They don't really add much of anything or their cost is way to high for the curve your setting.

Necromancy can be subbed out for Reanimate to lower the curve as well.

Those are some great suggestions Poly_raptor, I haven't actually seen Convalescent Care before. It can really help with the card advantage, which this deck is sorely missing.

As for Furnace of Rath, I have been working on a second version of this deck with that and Dictate of the Twin Gods as some of the main focuses for Form of the Dragon, but it is not really useable right now.

I really want to add both those cards in. I'll see what I can do.

Interesting deck!

Couple of cards I would suggest would be:

Convalescent Care - once you’ve got Form of the Dragon in play it’ll draw you an extra card each turn, giving you more chance of getting other combo pieces.

Also maybe something like Furnace of Rath? Hits them for 10 instead of 5?

I’m not sure what I would replace though.

Hope that’s a useful comment
