InfectedToe on Sorin's Tithings

2 weeks ago

Thanks for the suggestions NV_1980, but I'm less concerned with gaining life in general and more so focused on gaining life solely on your own turn to power up the main wincon: Sorin, Ravenous Neonate  ^Flip's -1. As such, cards like Kambal, Consul of Allocation and Sunscorch Regent are often far less important since they tend to grant life on your opponent's turns. This can potentially be good with cards like The Gaffer but doesn't do much for Sorin. I did want to add Kingpin's Pet and maybe Knight of Obligation too but I'm not sure what to remove.

Beebles There are a few that seem great, like The Gaffer and Gwaihir, Greatest of the Eagles. Gwaihir giving Trelly flying when we attack seems great, and its another token producer. I think we have enough separate life gain triggers that often hitting 3 shouldn't be an issue.

Treebeard, Gracious Host seems strong but expensive at 4cmc, Arwen, Mortal Queen combos nicely with Trelly as well.
