when I think about adding lifegain cards to my decks, Im looking for this kind of incidental or burst lifegain, not lifelink creatures
We also need some disruption
Its the first reprint since the original printing, so expect prices to drop dramatically, but there are old border and extended art versions available if you want to bling out what you have already
Commander: General Tazri Creatures: Adaptive Automaton, Agadeem Occultist, Akoum Battlesinger, Angelic Captain, Chameleon Colossus, Changeling Berserker, Chasm Guide, Drana, Liberator of Malakir, Firemantle Mage, Graveshifter, Hada Freeblade, Harabaz Druid, Hero of Goma Fada, Irregular Cohort, Jwari Shapeshifter, Kabira Evangel, Kazuul Warlord, Lantern Scout, Metallic Mimic, Mirror Entity, Ondu Cleric, Reckless Bushwhacker, Resolute Blademaster, Sea Gate Loremaster, Tuktuk Scrapper, Turntimber Ranger, Universal Automaton, Unsettled Mariner, Zulaport Cutthroat Artifacts: Blade of Selves, Captains Claws, Chromatic Lantern, Commanders Sphere, Darksteel Ingot, Helm of the Host, Heralds Horn, Icon of Ancestry, Obelisk of Urd, Urzas Incubator, Wayfarers Bauble Enchantments: Molten Echoes, Oath of Gideon, Retreat to Emeria, Rhythm of the Wild Instants: Cloudshift, Displace, Eerie Interlude, Eladamris Call, Ephemerate, Essence Flux, Ghostly Flicker, Ghostway, Join the Ranks, Kindred Summons Sorceries: Distant Melody, Farseek, Kindred Dominance, Painful Truths, Skyshroud Claim Planeswalker: Gideon, Ally of Zendikar Lands: 3 Forest, 3 Island, 2 Mountain, 9 Plains, 2 Swamp, Bloodstained Mire, Breeding Pool, Canopy Vista, Cinder Glade, City of Brass, Command Tower, Flooded Strand, Godless Shrine, Mana Confluence, Overgrown Tomb, Polluted Delta, Prairie Stream, Reflecting Pool, Sacred Foundry, Seaside Citadel, Smoldering Marsh, Steam Vents, Sunken Hollow, Windswept Heath, Wooded Foothills One of the reasons I was really hoping to see a favorite tribe of mine return was because I feel like the ally deck at this point is proving to be solved, with tight definition, and not a lot of room for individual nuance
And Magic is about to release its brand-new set, the second part of what looks to be an immensely popular artifact block: Darksteel
I think this deck can work really well without any combos or tutors as a lower powered version for lower powered games
