Rowan, Scion of War taps to make black and red spells cost X less\u003cbr\u003ethis turn, where X is the life you lost this turn. So the deck loses life on\u003cbr\u003epurpose. Ancient Tomb, City of Brass, Mana Confluence, Tarnished Citadel,\u003cbr\u003eSulfurous Springs, Barbarian Ring, Cabal Pit, Peat Bog and Sandstone Needle\u003cbr\u003eall hurt. K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth pays life instead of black mana. Street\u003cbr\u003eWraith cycles for two. Thoughtseize, Snuff Out, Dismember, Vendetta and Grim\u003cbr\u003eServant all cost life. By turn two or three you have lost six or more, and\u003cbr\u003ean eight-mana sorcery costs one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spell that matters is Peer into the Abyss. Cast at an opponent with\u003cbr\u003eSheoldred, the Apocalypse on the table, they draw half their library and\u003cbr\u003elose two life per card, which from 40 is lethal.

Either way the\u003cbr\u003egame usually ends that turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom there it is a storm turn. Dark Ritual, Rite of Flame and Burnt Offering\u003cbr\u003echain, Yawgmoth's Will or Past in Flames replays everything from the\u003cbr\u003egraveyard, and Reiterate with buyback on a ritual while Storm-Kiln Artist\u003cbr\u003eand Birgi, God of Storytelling refund the mana is infinite red mana into\u003cbr\u003eLightning Bolt and Searing Touch copies at every face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHoarding Broodlord is the tutor that Rowan makes nearly free, and Saw in\u003cbr\u003eHalf turns one Broodlord into two more tutors.
