No problem ZwiebelRoyal :)

I have been tinkering a lot with the deck and know that the only BW cards that win you infinite life are the ones in the deck, Death Watch , Exile , Death's Caress , Sever Soul and Weed Strangle .

There is no pauper legal way of using infinite toughness to deal damage or any good lifegain payoffs for huge lifegain in one shot.

Drawing into the combo and disruption is a work in progress mainly hurt by how bad white is at drawing and the lack of counterspells.

The life combo is also possible in WG and damage combos exist in WR and WB.

Welp, seems I only have 2 Jace's Phantasms OTL. I looked through some cards and selected possible replacements for the Phantom Monsters and Assassinates which are as follows:

1 of each Death's Caress, Reave Soul, Stab Wound, Psychic Spiral, The Eldest Reborn, Dinrova Horror, Homarid Explorer

2 of each Blizzard Specter, Seer of the Last Tomorrow

3 of each Fill with Fright

4 of each Doorkeeper

Not running Human Frailty (and Death's Caress, but that's just not really playable) in a deck with that name is a clear flavor fail. ;P

And Zombie Apocalypse could even be kinda good.

I'd replace Death's Caress with a Liturgy of Blood, it costs the same amount, but makes up some of its cost and allows you to cast more spells turn five, I also recommend you add some Vendettas, sure it makes you lose life, but it guarantees a kill, costs very little so you can surprise your opponent with it.
