Shrieking Drake+Defiler of Dreams =Infinite cast for just 2 life if you can gain them back plus you can draw as many cards as you have in the deck. Play it with an Aetherflux Reservoir or a Bontu's Monument and Machine gun your opponents life total :)
Then you should also run Heliod's Intervention... it's like a fireball but it's 'twice x'... the opponent pausing to think how they took so much damage is quite funny.
I’m literally just running this card just because people don’t know how to make decks and just throw 200 plus cards together that are all lifegain. So you know naturally I’m sick of it 😂
Feels like the fairy could be easily replaced with Ephemerate. Basically the same effect (two ETB triggers) but only cost 1 mana, with the upside of being able to save something at instant speed.
For the future, it's a good idea to give the Guide effect to Voice of the Blessed since it has vigilance and lifelink. Swing in for 3, gain 3, and you can still make an angel if you have enough life
You were the chosen one! You were meant to mog the life gain decks, not join them! Bring balance to Arena, not leave it in ruin! (Except the fun kind) :p
Idk... Ocelot's Pride seems pretty slow in what he's trying to do if he's trying to set up around Turn 3 or less. Also, Jesus.. that card is a 40 dollar card right now. Nurturing Pixie is the 2nd best 1 mana buyback while Shrieking Drake was the 1st, but I could've sworn there is something similar to it that's most importantly "one mana."
@@logan_wolf Ephemerate and Cloud Shift are fun in a deck that wants to see more flicker, but it is actually slower and less repeatable in this situation. You actually want more Whitemane Lion effects, but in 0 or 1 mana. Also, having more creatures adds more pressure w/ attacking and blocking, than having a one time use Cloudshift w/o a Regrowth. For example, if he was running an Eternal Witness or an Archaeomancer, at least he could buy back the Cloudshift. Most of the time, you want to see effects that are repeatable and abusable. Another example of E. Wit and Archaeomancer is Baral's Expertise. It's a 5 mana Blue Sorcery (3UU) which allows you to bounce up to 3 target Artifact and/or Creature and you get to cast a spell w/ CMC 4 or less for free. In this case, you can bounce an E. Wit or Arch or you can do this trick w/ Dualcaster Mage/Naruto Meha and copy Baral's Expertise, and essentially, you are buying back Baral's Expertise which you can do over and over and over again if you have enough mana. Like I said, Nurturing Pixie is the 2nd best card that is 1 mana and I don't remember if there was a similar card that self-bounces itself for 1 mana other than Whitemane Lion for (1W) and Stonecloaker for (2W), but the goal here is a 1 mana or less self bounce creature such as Shrieking Drake. Furthermore, and I almost nearly forgot about this, but Ephemerate and Cloudshift won't trigger his life gain twice per creature with Soulwarden effects.
21:28 you could have used the last last drake trigger to bounce the Pixie, and then cast the it with the last white mana. This would have given you the life you needed to zero with Ajani.
i faced a only life gain deck with a 2 mana life gain dude that can blink another creature for 5 or 6 mana(distinguished conjurer) with ocelot pride and delney, they never run out of creatures
I would tell you not to encourage the lifegain players, but let’s be honest: some of them already added Guide this year. They won’t spend any more wildcards until at least 2026.
instead of running blue, green would be better for your bounce plan,look at that 1 mana green rare frogs that returns one for free (no additional cost stackable with more frogs) each turn while simultanously growing its way cheaper and not one time like ur mockingbird and blue 1 mana returnrspell and to gain back the consitency of having 8 bounces u could add the white 1 mana bounce 4x instead togehter with the frogs,also haze of polen does very well in this so u can more reliable get kittyboys nuke of
I mean the 4 energy if speaker is the only energy its 4 activations vs 3, if youre running lower cost creatures it's not as bad, eise oh boy it can take a while
90% of players.. you think THAT alone would stop people from playing white life gain.. but nope. 90%, AT LEAST of you people. Why? Can't you just stop? Learn to make your own decks. honestly, I think it's the "don't buy packs" propaganda. Buy packs! Rip packs open and look at the cards. Have a huge collection of worthless bulk which you can just use to throw random jank crap together. This is how you learn deck construction, so you're not limited to only playing the bullshit you see other people win with. I haaaaate white life gain. IT's not even hard to beat, it is just so insufferably boring.
@@honestabe411 It's not. It's a problem with people who have no ability to make decks of their own. But hey, cute cliche comeback, kid, you're real good at this.
13:30 I love that you recognized you played it out of order and then immediately continue to play out of order 😂 the dark lord does not disappoint

yep also ephemerate saves your creatures you dont want to loose before getting lifegain started
yeah it seems to work much better with cast triggers or noncreature permanents
I was thinking the same thing

7:48 "he is down to 20 this lookin good" not something u expect to hear in a normal game of magic eh?
Really like how efficient this deck was… what was your win rate at the end?
what is the point of nurturing pixie? you don’t really have anything good to bounce, ocelot pride seems better

Last game you did have the lifegain if you returned the pixie.
Next jankstop: lumbering battlement? Bounce / blink heaven ;)

maybe swap the pixie for a voice of the blesssed?
I want to see you play against good decks too, not only free wins
Tainted Remedy laughs
Best jank in a while! Grats!
No life gain without ajanis pridemate....
expected the Primal Prayers Combo version with guide + shrieking drake and Primal Prayers :) but i like dis version as well
I have videos of this deck before the update
delaney would be incredible in this deck!
You should try to splash in some black and put in some creatures that make opponent lose life when you gain. Don't even need to attack.
Too easy
Well it's all about fun and gain life until you meet brutal aggro burn red deck with Roiling Vortex smackalaka
I always liked lifegain :)
I crushed lifegain without a single removal yesterday...... but sure.
(It was brawl angels.)
where is the deck list??????
At the beginning of the video.
The real decklist was the jank we made along the way
Sad.... this ain't jank
who plays historic? play limitless so you can play cards as they were printed
My life gain deck can gain 4 million life per turn
Am I first? Ha!!
Congratulations
