Commander Spellbook ↗How it works
Steps
Activate Vizkopa Guildmage by paying {1}{W}{B}, causing each opponent to lose life whenever you gain life this turn. Cast Pain's Reward by paying {2}{B}, betting a number equal to your life total minus 1. If you win the bid, resolve Pain's Reward, causing you to lose that much life and draw four cards. Activate Children of Korlis by sacrificing it, causing you to gain life equal to the life you've lost this turn. Vizkppa Guildmage triggers, causing each opponent to lose life equal to the life you gained.
