![]() Life is almost everything in the world of magic for if you lose all your HP you lose the duel. Today we are going to look at one of the simpler goals in MTG which is Life management. It has the perfect blend of simplicity and complexity that make learning the basics of the game whilst also allowing you to constantly learn new combo plays and strategies. In that time we have seen many others come and go, (Anyone remember DuelMasters? And we don't talk about Digimon TCG) but magic it seems is here to stay. Magic has been around for almost 30 years now and is one of the first things that comes to mind when someone talks about TCGs. In any event, Elixir of Immortality is a totally legit option for this function and all things considered is probably the most powerful "generic" effect of this type outside of green or blue.25 Best Life Gaining Cards in Magic! The Gathering. (Elixir is also an artifact but it doesn't hit the 'yard, so it doesn't work with her!) For example in my ] deck, even though I have access to all the green reshuffle effects, I actually use Reito Lantern because Glissa can loop it since it's an artifact. There are lots of reasons to choose any one of these over another. Other good options are the Eldrazi, as others have noted, ], which is slow but benefits from creature synergies, and ], which doubles as a punisher effect. Seemingly more powerful options like Feldon's Cane and ] don't work reliably since they self-exile. Elixir of Immortality is one of the best options. If you're in black or red, or black-red, and in some cases white, you're going to need to look to a colorless card to do the job. Green has a few cards like ] and ], but it also has in my view the strongest card of this type: ]. White has ], which is shockingly useful given that it only takes up a land slot and is unlikely to ever get blown up. In my view, every EDH Deck needs a way to refill the deck so you don't run out of options if the game goes long.īlue has ], ], and ], and other similar cards. Like consider the fact that people are happy to play cards like ] and put cards back in their opponents' libraries just to keep them from having access to them in the GY. Libraries matter a lot less than you think. So in general just be very wary of things that don't affect the board or hands. You need to just start accepting that if you are going to draw 20 cards in a given game, it doesn't matter which 20 they are. To some people, I feel like they would actually feel like they lost something if that happened. One thing you might want to try doing is at the end of every game, look at the bottom 10 cards of your library and imagine they had actually started the game on top, but your opponent cast a spell that put them on the bottom. But barring certain effects, there's really no difference between your opponent taking cards off the top of your library as from the bottom. Like one thing I've often observed with newer players is they get really affected by having their library milled from, because they look at the cards and feel like they're being taken away. It sucks feeling like your cards are gone forever when you use them, but elixir lets you say "it isn't forever, I could see them again!". I feel like this card, and cards like it, often serve as a "security blanket" to newer players. Other cards that do the same thing exile themselves, or at least, don't shuffle back in too. But they are quite expensive and may require additional setup that would make the elixir preferable. The original Eldrazi Titans like ] sort of do if you only want the GY shuffle part, you just need a way to discard them. There are absolutely use cases for this card, and I can't think of a better version that does exactly the same thing but better. ![]() ![]() r/magicTCG is not produced, endorsed, supported by, or affiliated with Wizards of the Coast.
