There is a great deal going on here that springs from recent (mostly) decks that seek to win by punishing the opponent for acting. This one is, I believe, more focused on certain aspects. It can hurt to bring creatures into play, have creatures die, cast spells, attack, or even let me cast spells. I removed Mortis Dogs and Wall of Limbs in favor of a number of other selections that are more persistent in their damage. Also, I was interested in causing loss of life rather than damage, primarily, as that cannot be prevent with protection. While not as smooth as I might like, the 11/15/4/8/2 curve still comes in at only 2.38 average, and 26 spells remain below the 3-spot.
