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?
