That kinda makes sense I guess, but surely something instant speed like Cruel Feeding, Mortal's Ardor or Swift Justice would be better in those slots? It becoming a really round-about Pacifism doesn't seem super useful. Something like Oust could be in those slots.

Edited.
I love the combination of Beacon of Immortality and Tainted Remedy for an instant win. I don't see that splashing green for Siege Rhino works too well in this deck and would prefer to stick to /.
+2 Alms Beast, +1 Beacon of Immortality, +1 Idyllic Tutor, -4 Siege Rhino, then simplify your land-base, with maybe just Isolated Chapel, Plains and Swamp

Sorry - missed that Heroes' Reunion also had green. I was thinking along the lines of Cure for Lifegain

Murphy77 yeah if Heroes Reunion wasn't so aggressively costed I would ditch green entirely

How much is the difference between Reunion and say Rest for the Weary. Is the making a land drop that much more difficult than having a third color?

Have you considered Wall of Shards? It's a great, cheap defender, and if they don't remove it, will literally accelerate their demise with Tainted Remedy out.

Argh. Never mind, I see it's in your sideboard!

I have found Kavu Predator to be a huge threat if you cant hit a Tainted Remedy.

Maybe you could add Deadly Allure to force your opponent to block the Alms Beast so a creature is destroyed and he anyway loses a big bunch of life. Awesome Deck of yours

nvm I just realized it's in your maybe

Felidar Sovereign could be decent somewhere in here. If nothing else you can use board it against cards like Extirpate, but I suppose Sanguine Bond serves the same purpose.

Absolutely fun this deck! Love it!

Probably been said a hundred times but I absolutely love the combo of Tainted Remedy and Beacon of Immortality. I may look into building a combo control deck around that. Seems WAAAAAY sweet and hard to stop. +1

I've been playing this on mtgo, and Blessed Alliance seems to be doing well. other than that, nice list.

Love this deck! Going to take a turn at trying to make one similar but more control planning to win with Beacon of Immortality +1!

Sterling Grove is definitely not modern legal.

Biracial Forest Fire (BFF) or for a budget list Biracial Budget (BB).
It would take a long time for me to explain all the changes I'd advise, but look at these two decks. I believe the 1st is close to being optimized, and the second has a lot of good alternatives if you don't feel like blowing a ton of money on this.
Glad to see I'm not the only one playing around with this type of deck.

Have you tested Lone Rider Flip?
I love this card and I believe it would bring lots of value to your deck, which is awesome btw. Good work!

I reccomend running Spirit Link or Spirit Loop over lifelink, as lifelink doesn't stack, while these do.

Thanks godofcruelty good shout

Omg, Tainted Remedy and Beacon of Immortality is an instant win! That's cool. I would have made the deck only around these two cards.
July 12, 2015

- 1 i really love this deck.
Think about Wall of Shards it is less aggro, bot if you want to win by combo and control, it is great.
July 22, 2015

Healing Hands is target player, although it's a sorcery.
July 26, 2015
4:09 a.m.
Ajani Steadfast maybe. The +1 doesn't say "creature you control", so you could give one of your opponent's creatures lifelink until the end of turn, discouraging a block lest they lose that much life to Tainted Remedy.
July 26, 2015
4:13 a.m.
I am pretty sure that Beacon of Immortality doesn't count as "gaining life"... Might need to look at some rules on that one. But still I love Tainted Remedy and have been hoping someone builds a modern deck with it. +1!
August 3, 2015

wolfging http://community.wizards.com/content/forum-topic/3078011heres a forum discussing beacon as lifegain, seems like it should work cheers :)
August 3, 2015
4:57 a.m.
It does count as life gain. I saw a funny deck that was literally just Children of Korlis, Holy Day, Darkness, etcetera with a playset of tainted remedy and a playset of beacon of immortality lol.
August 3, 2015
1:07 p.m.
how about Nature's Claim as a sideboard card?
August 16, 2015
3:53 a.m.
AngelOfDivinity Yeah its a bit pricey that one, and cant be fetched with my Windswept Heath if I replace my forest, but thanks, good suggestion.
not4permuser It would be in the place of Condemn but its not modern legel unfortunately, thanks though

I just re-read Rain of Gore... Take a good hard look at that one before you throw it in here. Specifically the last word on the first line and the first word on the second.
June 29, 2015
2:46 a.m.
AngelOfDivinity Yeah, with the amount of lifegain you can do yourself, that could be a bit suicidal...
June 29, 2015
6:23 a.m.
Yeah, not to mention your Heroes' Reunion and its ilk would in fact cause your opponents to gain life, not lose it.
June 29, 2015

The green in this deck is minimal. Instead of 3 Sandsteppe Citadels, 3 Windswept Heaths for untapped land.
July 1, 2015

I was about to say "This deck has such an Orzhov flavor It's great. Mightn't it be more effective to simply drop green & replace Heroes' Reunion with Rest for the Weary and something else?"
Then I saw Siege Rhino.
You're doing it right XD
If I haven't already +1'd this, I will do that now.
July 1, 2015
1:57 p.m.
Thanks AngelOfDivinity, it certainly does have the whole life leeching theme that orzhov is so good at, and Heroes' Reunion is easily replaceable like you say, but Siege Rhino is definitely worth the green splash

Also, I learned about a little ruling I didn't know about yesterday: Any change in life total counts as life gain or life loss, even in the case of effects like Soul Conduit or Tree of Redemption. So let's say your opponent's at ten life & you're at five and you activate Soul Conduit, what technically happens mechanically is described as you gaining five life and your opponent losing five life.
That being said, Beacon of Immortality technically reads "target player gains an amount of life equal to his or her life total."
As an aside, since it is doubling the life total it could be written as Tx2, where T=the player's life total. If they have a negative life total it still multiplies the negative total by two. So if they are somehow at -5 life, they will hit -10 life.

I see what youre saying AngelOfDivinity, if i have Tainted Remedy out then Beacon of Immortality would be an instant kill right? If they have 10 life and it doubles thats technically gaining 10 life so they lose 10 and go down to 0, good shout

2:37 a.m.
I like the idea. What about Nature's Claim in the sideboard?.
July 3, 2015

You might want to splash red for Rain of Gore and Fiery Justice
June 26, 2015
9:53 a.m.
also, Alms Beast is good for the deck
June 26, 2015
9:54 a.m.
thanks Brohamen, not too sure on adding an extra colour however I do like alms beast, thanks!
June 26, 2015
10:32 a.m.
If you were to splash red you could run Grove of the Burnwillows.

lagotripha thanks but those cards would cause me to gain life, whereas the point of Lifelink is to cast on opponents creatures causing my opponent to gain life (thereby losing it through Tainted Remedy)
