Hey I was looking through the decklists around the Net and saw an interesting primer* in the type 1 / 1.5 forums on MTGnews about a deck called Life. The deck uses an En-Kor and a Task Force or Angelic Protector combined with Worthy Cause to gain infinite life. The way the combo works is this:
You have an Nomad En-Kor (or Warrior En-Kor) and a Task Force (or Angelic Protector) in play. You use the En-Kor's ability to redirect the next billion or so damage to the Task Force which gets +0/+3 each time it is targeted making it huge. Play Worthy Cause sacrificing the Task Force and you now have near infinite life. After this you just do whatever you need to win, I have seen versions of the deck run About Face so they can deal infinite damage as well, I have seen millstone/grindstone versions and ones that win via Serra Avatar. How you win afterwards is up to you but I chose to go with Phyrexian Processor. Here is my current decklist.
Land - 22 cards
4 Adarkar Wastes
4 Faerie Conclave
2 Skycloud Expanse
4 Remote Farm
4 Island
4 Plains
Combo - 16 Cards
4 Worthy Cause
4 Task Force
2 Angelic Protector
2 Warrior En-Kor
4 Nomads En-Kor
Win Conditions - 3 Cards
2 Phyrexian Processor
1 Test of Endurance
Other Stuff (Card Drawing / Countermagic / Utility) 19
4 Fact or Fiction
4 Accumulated Knowledge
4 Counterspell
3 Absorb
4 Seal of Cleansing
Total - 60 Cards
Sideboard - Not yet determined
So yeah, everything in there is pretty self explanitary and Test of Endurance is always fun so why not? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
