Life for Death is a red/white intro pack with a focus on life gain and Phyrexian mana.
"Phyrexian mana" may be the most diabolical advance the Phyrexians have ever created, and this deck is filled with it. The red Phyrexian mana symbol is , and you can pay for it by spending {R} or by paying 2 life. So, for example, you can cast Moltensteel Dragon, a mighty 4/4 flier, as early as turn four by spending {4} and 4 life. And you should! This deck rewards aggression. Pay life early and often, casting Porcelain Legionnaires for two mana, Slash Panthers for four mana, and Gut Shot for no mana at all! If you can afford the extra mana, go ahead and pay it, but never wait an entire turn to get your creatures on the table.
