So, I decided to try something fun for this one. Late last night I built five Light/Life duos/trios (more like built two, used two of the duos I've used elsewhere and modified one deck I've never used before), and that was what I used here. I've also decided to name these ones in particular,
because fun.
Game 1: Loss 0-1

I won the cointoss leading the poison race for most of the match. Several early scorpions for me starting racking up the poison and the one Staff in my opening hand was a huge help. I eventually brought out a Morning Star, but thatnewguy brought out a bonewall and finished me off with exact damage thanks to two double-momentumed scorpions and an arsenic.
Game 2: Win 1-1

My thought when choosing this was "He won't go for poison two games in a row," but boy did my heart sink when I saw the mark of death, followed by two poisons on turn two. Luckily for me I got my Hope shield up to 5 a turn after he played some Recluses, and 10 at around half with six poison counters. I flooded my side of the field with RoLs and Rustlers, but thatnewguy left before I could beat him at the rather slow damage race.
Game 3: Win 2-1 (illegal deck by thatnewguy)

I was really confused when he played the Steam Machine, but disappointed when he played the Shard of Readiness, and then forfeited the match. I'd gotten off to a good start too - plenty of quanta, three early sanctuaries, a miracle, a heal, a spine carapace and a sundial.
Game 4: Win 3-1

Thankfully I only saw one charger, a skull shield and one plague before I managed to rush down thatnewguy with two frogs, three angels and two adrenalines between them. With two heals and a third adrenaline in hand.
Spoiler for And for those of you wondering what the fifth deck would have been:

It does, however, work well with blessed Cockatrices and Giant Frogs, making for a high-HP 7 or 8 attack adrenalined creature.
