Updating Crypt Rats + Test of Endurance Deck

[rdothodgson]

Hey Community,

I'm looking to update one of my favorite legacy decks but haven't been in the loop for almost 15 years - a lot of new cards and mechanics to sort through. I've done some research, but I'm sure most of you could rattle off some cards that would enhance the deck and fit the strategy.

The general strategy is to build up a solid defense of cheap walls early game, with deck thinning cards like Marsh Flats and Wall of Omens, then play Crypt Rats or Thrashing Wumpus and give it life link and additional survivability to nuke the board and gain large amounts of life.

If I dont win within a few turns by dealing damage, I search the deck for Test of Endurance (auto-win if at 50+ life). When the combo works, it's not uncommon for me to end the game with 100+ life.

Let me know what your thoughts are - looking forward to feedback!
