The goal of this deck is to gain a lot of life from Liesa and several other cards in order to both chip away at the opponents' health and to use life as a resource to pay for spell effects. There are also a few enchantments and curses that apply a minor tax on players' actions to keep them suppressed. I would love feedback on how this deck could improve, feel free to give suggestions and advice.
