Quick Info

YOU ARE A LICH. YOU ALWAYS WERE.

 

General

AGAIN: Sacrifice tokens to Lich's Mastery. See my other deck Token Mastery for more general strategies. Torgaar, Famine Incarnate is still here to cause your opponent to have panic attacks. Lyra Dawnbringer is now in place as damn near a victory condition with Lich's Mastery out. This has a good deal of control; and the board is helpful. Use Mastermind's Acquisition again to get into that sideboard for more solutions to problems! A neat trick: Swap your high life total with Evra, Halcyon Witness and boost her high, then go low on life into the negative with Lich's Mastery out if you want. Attack with Evra, or boost yourself into the heights by swapping with Evra AGAIN, OR use Torgaar, Famine Incarnate. When you boost your life back up, you DRAW INSANE CARDS with Lich's Mastery! It is sick! On my black and green version of this deck I was drawing 20 cards at times. When Torgaar, Famine Incarnate sets your life total as a higher total than your own current life total, you draw cards for the difference. The same would be true for Evra, Halcyon Witness. Therefore, she not only is a beastly heavy hitter, but also a card draw ENGINE for four mana ON DEMAND. Kambal, Consul of Allocation poses a large threat, and considerable life gain. I look at him as a lightning rod, as as well as a three drop that makes for some nice card draw.

 

Other victory conditions also presented in my other deck, Token Mastery, are here as well for the most part. Josu Vess, Lich Knight kicked is a victory condition nearly. You can play him on-curve if you want or need to. A developed board using Liliana, Death's Majesty and Anointed Procession is doable. Basically, you'll outlast your opponents forever by just building so many resources, drawing so many cards, and then removing tokens or stuff in your graveyard from the game that they will just crumple. Besides using Evra, Halcyon Witness to maul your opponent and draw insane cards, you can also use Twilight Prophet in the sideboard as well to do it. Every turn the prophet will draw you a card and nuke your opponent, then you'll draw cards equal to your life gained. Memorial to Glory explodes for token goodness. In a pinch it is handy. Oketra the True not only generates tokens, but she also hits for six each turn. She is nasty in this deck. You'll have a pretty decent sized board a LOT of the time, and this justifies her inclusion. Hidden Stockpile will simply keep giving you tokens for practically nothing, and you can also count on it for some hot scrying action. Seal Away is everyone's new favorite creature control in white, and it works cheaper and better than Ravenous Chupacabra. If you feel like you wanna put the brakes on your opponent, use Mastermind's Aquisition to go to your sideboard for Authority of the Consuls. Every time they play a creature you DRAW A CARD AND GAIN A LIFE if Lich's Mastery is out. Pretty disgusting!

 

More perfecting to come, more playtesting to come! Let's do this folks!

 

FEEDBACK HELPS!

 

Here is my older Black and Green variant of this named Token Mastery

 

Also here is proof the Evra trick working from a DCI Judge Chat on EFNet. The DCI Judges have ruled this is the way Evra will work. https://imgur.com/mo8K2El

 

I've moved past this deck idea into something more competitive as well; see more here.
