Description:

This is a fun deck that makes further use of Drain Life (and Fire Covenant) through cards like Binding Agony. By using Binding Agony on one of your opponent's creatures, you can turn the damage that you deal to it with a Drain Life into even more damage to your opponent. If you are ahead in life, and if you can do "Channel" damage with Fire Covenant to your opponent's creature that has a Binding Agony on it, chances are that you can win the duel. When I've played this deck, Lim-Dul's Paladin also ends up being a force to be delt with, but is a challenge to keep in play due to the discarding during your upkeep. Use the REBs to counter any blue spells that might thwart a huge Fire Covenant or Drain Life.
