Not a deck, but an idea.

Peace of Mind + Yawgmoth's Bargain + Test of Endurance.

For those of you who are newish to the game:

Peace of Mind (1W)
Enchantment
(Exodus Uncommon)
W, Discard a card: Gain 3 life.

Yawgmoth's Bargain (4BB)
Enchantment
(Urza's Destiny Rare)
Pay 1 life: Draw a card.

The idea is to get all three out at the same time, possibly with Academy Rector, which would allow some Wrathy defense.

Pay a life, draw, pay W and discard it, gain 3 life. Continue to eat through your library and gain 2 life for each iteration. Granted, you can only do this as many times as you have white mana, but that's still a BIG amount of life, especially if some of the cards are, say, Life Burst.

Part of me wants to run Pursuit of Knowledge in this to turn a 3-card Bargain into a 7-card steal.
Part of me wants to run Ancestral Tribute.
Part of me looks at those other two parts and kicks them both until they shut up.

Thoughts?

You can turn this into a fun WWeenieB deck. Empyrial Armor would be nice in here, as would Glory. Maybe include the Confessor and/or Sould Warden also.

For a Test of Endurance deck, make sure to include Gerrard's Wisdom which I'd probably run instead of or next to the Tribute.

I don't think you need the Pursuit of Knowledge for either build, it'd be better as search for your Bargain. With enough lifegain the Bargain won't be a problem.

This engine works well to set up a massive Replenish. Just play mad global white enchantments (Pursuit of Knowledge, Peace of Mind, Angelic Chours, Noble Purpose, Test of Endurance), Opalescence, and Replenish for the win!

:D

Hmm is Test of Endurance the card that makes you win when you have 50(40?,30?60? or whatever) in life???:confused: :confused: :confused:

You mention Peace of Mind, which reminds me of it. I know it's not the same, but I'll post it here for your perusal.
