All Their Creatures Will Fall: A 220 HP Dragon Stall

[jmdt]

So I was tinkering around with a Jade Dragon rush since they are my favorite dragon.  Once they hit the field the are almost unstoppable.   The problem is Jade Dragons are not fast enough to be effective by themselves.  So how do I give my dragons more time to whittle down the opponent?  I raise my HP and give it constant replenishment.   I started with 6 SoD and 6 Heal, but I settled on 6 SoD and 6 SoG as the SoG are more effective over time.  A Jade Staff brings the total healing with the SoG up to 35 per turn.  The problem with SoG is that if the opponent gets more than 35 damage out, I'm done in a few turns.  The solution...add CC.  'But life doesn't have CC' you say.  Sure it does, its shield thorn capapace will poison opponents, which works great since SoG and SoD are extending the game giving it time to work.  So after several games of testing with various builds and card numbers, I setteled on this deck.  Enjoy.

Yeah gravity shield could be a problem, but who uses gravity shield.  Yeah I made it 31 cards precisely because I had a deckout before against mono aether in testing.  If I calculate my damage right, I think a jade staff will have just enough time for a full kill before a deckout if its played on the first turn.

On or two quantum towers may help to play all the shards.

Ha, it's exactly a full kill if played on the first turn (25ttw ftw ).  This looks almost as fun to play as NAP?, I'll have to try it soon .

Nice deck and all but.. it's a sad state of affairs when a Life deck uses shards over their own healing.
