---

Have you ever wanted to obtain true immortality (or as true as you can get in a card game)? Well this deck is all about the duality between Life and Death.

you should view this deck as a two stage event, In stage one you gather life and use it as a resource. A few examples being: Brightflame Palace Siege Debt to the Deathless Authority of the Consuls

We also spend the life to fuel our descent into undeath with cards like: Arguel's Blood Fast   Infernal Contract Necrologia Pain's Reward

We need to work undisturbed and thus Righteous Aura Glacial Chasm Solemnity Delaying Shield will help us stay safe.

The blood of our work flows into the font of blood and our Reckless Assault so we can remove disturbing elements. If that is not enough we Descend upon the Sinful or force an Evacuation , With our influence we can turn Swords to Plowshares thus ending the hostility.

But this is merely the first stage just like Arguel's Blood Fast   we can flip at low life when we attain Lichdom through Lich or Lich's Mastery we can turn our research into a tangible reward. Now we can Lich + Repay in Kind or call upon Confessor + Lich + Skirge Familiar to draw our entire library all knowledge befalls us, there is nothing we cant get even Kozilek, Butcher of Truth is a mere plaything to our power merely a tool to shuffle the graveyard into the library at a whim. With unlimited mana from this work we can end it with cut//ribbons or Debt to the Deathless , or we ally ourselves with The Locust God to swarm our critics. Our Psychosis Crawler will also do if all else fails, our Tainted Sigil still hold untold amounts of knowledge when we go over the edge.

In desperate times we can create the Drogskol Reaver to make the Confessor + Drogskol Reaver + Skirge Familiar to create the infinite mana again.

if we are really desperate we cause a Doomsday + Hellcarver Demon to make a drastic deal in order to finalise our work. Sometimes though all our blood and work merely end up in a Near-Death Experience especially with the Angel's Grace or a Stunning Reversal , or we go Ad Nauseam + Lich to also reap the benefits of our lichdom.
