Description of deck by its author
(quoted):
...Next in quantity, people tried very hard to use the new
alternative win conditions. Test of Endurance by far received the most
submissions of the two, with pretty much every gain-life card attempted
at some point or another. Many people rode Atalya, Samite Master to
victory with the most successful attempts hiding behind some combination
of Ensnaring Bridge, Orim's Chant, and Solitary Confinement. Kudos to
people who remembered that Reverse Damage is in Seventh Edition.
The real problem with most Test of Endurance decks was that they either
looked like they were as likely to win with creature damage as the Test
(and thus weren’t focused), or they didn’t look to me like they would
gain 50 life faster than they would lose to opposing decks.
One unique approach came from Lord_Shiner (yes, parents are cruel), who
used the model of many Nantuko Shrine decks to try something just crazy
enough to work...
