I am attempting to build a deck around the vizkopa guildmage  and I am looking for some help on cleaning it up. I plan on keeping it standard legal for an upcoming charity event, but may eventually turn it to full casual. 4 x rhox faithmender  4 x vizkopa guildmage 2 x deathrite shaman  3 x blood artist  2 x thragtusk  2 x restoration angel  3 x vampire nighthawk  3 x arbor elf  2 x oblivion ring  3 x blind obedience  3 x heroes' reunion  2 x tribute to hunger  1 x exquisite blood  2 x underworld connections  2 x vault of the archangel  4 x godless shrine  4 x isolated chapel  4 x temple garden  3 x sunpetal grove  4 x overgrown tomb  3 x woodland cemetary  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

this looks like an interesting deck...you might want to try adding in cards with extort, like syndic of tithes  , kingpin's pet  , vizkopa confessor  , etc. these guys really help bleed your opponent and fuel the guildmage even if you dont play life gain spells. you could also get chalice of life  , because thats 1 life per turn (and 1 damage with the guildmage's ability), and your likely to transform it

I think some more extort may be useful in keeping pressure going while I am waiting for get the cards I need to get rolling. Also, I think I will replace a vault with a chalice. Thank you for the help.

Avacyn's Pilgrim  over Arbor Elf  ? You only have 8 forests in the deck. Chalice of Life  / Chalice of Death  over a Heroes' Reunion  ? I know the reunion is big (downright huge with the guildmage out), but I really don't think you want to go down a land. Heck I'm almost tempted to tell you to knock out the other two Reunions for Farseek  s because you're playing right at the edge of a competitive curve imo (six 4-drops, three 5-drops, and two Vault of the Archangels, plus any extort triggers and/or guildmage activations you may want to pay for). I say almost, because I have never really built a successful lifegain deck and don't know how much is enough especially now since your considering a threshold value of 30+ life to flip the chalice. Just give it some thought, that's all. Nice build overall.

How does this lead to interactive play? I believe I’m able to play my creature and you have to deal with it is much more interactive than you counter my creature. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Post #777
