Hmm. Not often, but with light/life I really should be able to.
The problem is that by replacing the traditional RoL with strong attackers, I need my first Luciferin or two to be used proactively to pay for and power up Hope. Further luciferins take too long to show up for reactive healing - Hope is running and I'm now safe, but I can't stop my creatures from mangling the HB before I draw enough Lucys.
I'll try dropping a pillar, a pend, and the two mitoses. They don't seem crucial to my success and make me care too much about my otherwise expendable creatures.
Edit: I mighta been lucky with my first 10 games. Now that I've made the changes I'm facing tons and tons of CC for my next set of 10. This would have killed me with OR without the changes. Any suggestions or is this deck just not gonna work?
