I'm currently looking at running the following deck around [/c]Sustaining Spirit[/c] and Near-death Experience  , but I need a life-dump in case my opponents don't cooperate by attacking me and lowering my life total. My best option seems to be splashing black for Wall of Blood  , but I'd prefer a white creature for Prismatic Strand  reasons: Ethereal Champion  would be perfect, but competes with Near-death Experience on the curve. Can anyone help? 4 x Near-Death Experience  4 x Sustaining Spirit  4 x Cloudshift  4 x Angelic Renewal  4 x Prismatic Strands  4 x Momentary Blink  4 x Angelsong  4 x Dawn Charm  4 x Faith's Shield  24 x Plains

For a life sink, your best bet might be phyrexian mana. Hex Parasite  Immolating Souleater  Spellskite  Trespassing Souleater  Unfortunately, that only works in multiples of two. As far as paying life in white is concerned: Inner Sanctum  Order of the Sacred Torch  against black Righteous Aura  Horizon Canopy  , maybe?

@Enigma256: Damn near close to perfect, save the whole Prismatic Strand issue. Also lets me spit out 19/19s or so while I prevent damage, in case I can't pull off Near-death Experience . @puzzledmint: Yeah, the phyrexian stuff would be fantastic in conjunction with the painlands. It's just the even life that's screwing me over. And I can't afford Horizon Canopy , the painlands or the fetchlands unfortunately :P Not a budget deck, exactly, but they'd probably at least double its cost :P EDIT: I'm being stupid. Why go down when I can go up? Sejiri Refuge  . Thanks guys ^^

What about Worship  and Angel's Grace  as a backup plan?

Angel's Grace would be in like a shot if it weren't for the money cost  It would almost double the cost of a casual deck :D Worship I'm sorely tempted by, especially in combination with Angelic Renewal . If I start running out of instants regularly, I'll throw it in. Thanks

main reason to go down instead of up (in case of your card choice): timing. you can only play the land during your turn, but tap the painland at their eot, minimizing the risk of making your experience less near and more death.
Maybe you can squeeze in something like Claws of Gix  ?

Pristine Talisman  would be better. Ability doesn't cost mana and it can't be Stifle  d.

Clever deduction Watson! Maybe you can explain why Supergirl is trying to kill me.
