Not sure.. It would have to be really really fast..
Discard i think would work better..
We only tried this format between 3 people. Everyone else was just baffled why we were playing with such craptastic cards.
you kind of have to look at older cards in a new light..
Lich=Game
Nefarious Lich=Game
Michievious Poltergeist= Game (2B)
Ethereal Champion=Game (2WWW)
Spatial Binding=Game (UB)
Deepwood Ghoul=Game (2B)
SoulDrinker=Game (3B)
Phyrexian Colossus=Game(7 or tinker/3)
Anavolver w/ black kicker=Game (3GB)
Degavolver w/ Black kicker=Game (2WB)
Martyr's Tomb=Game (2WB)
Unspeakable Symbol w/ 1 creature=Game (1BB)
Nightmare Lash +2 creatures= Game (4mana)
Wall of Blood=Game (2B)
Spoils of the Vault= Game (B)
2 4cc
4 3cc
Leveler= 1 turn clock
Thoughtlash= 1 turn clock
Sylvan Library can net you -8 life per turn, + 2 more cards.
Lim Dul's Vault can usually take away 8-10 Life and get your kill card so
Lim Dul's= 1 turn clock/game
Decomposition on your own black creature loses you
a cumulative 1 life. So assuming you do nothing else it'll kill you in 6 turns.
Sirocco with a hand fun of counters can kill you in a single turn.
4 life per blue inst/sorcery
Lurking Evil= Half Life
Death Wish=Half Life
Infernal Contract= Half Life/ 5 turn clock
Murderous Betrayal=Half life per 3 mana
Reckless Spite (1BB for 5, -2 Creatures)
Vendetta, Devour in Shadow and
Withering Boon are good anti creatures..
I suppose if i wanted to slow it down a bit remove any
Pay 1 life: do something
in which case deepwood ghoul would be banned
It would also allow it to have the interplay of anti creature spells with life sucking creatures like ebon drake, grimclaw bats, and sewer rats
Filthy Cur would be amazing Defense.
Wretched Anurid
Ebonblade Reaper could all be fast enough.
Rust elemental (4 for 4 life per turn)
Dross Harvester(1bb for 4 life per turn)
Grim Reminder could kill you if there was enough time for a metagame.
If that pay life: cards were removed then Ritual would have to be dropped, simply because you need it to compete..
I think either heavy discard, especially Unmask, and counter would wreck...as well as a green black..
As of yet, almost nothing stands a chance to the power of
2 4cc
4 3cc
1 1cc
selfkills, and even with those you could fetch a vamp tutor, losing you life to fetch your spoils.
Should there be bannings or more restrictions?
