I was looking at deckcheck website and I pretty much see the same several people piloting the deck. Perhaps a pet deck or sort, but it has placed high on its entries in the past.

It seems like the deck can be tuned to fight against Burn, Tendrils based combo, and as well as put a big giant barricade to mess with aggro deck's plans.

But how come the deck is not seeing much more play? It it's strategy to gain near unlimitted amount of life just not worth it, even though such tactic is what prevents other decks from winning?

Is it perhaps the lack of card draw as well? I would greatly appreciate your opinion regarding the deck, as it seems like a deck that doesnt cost much to build, and throws a barricade in plans of Burn, Tendrils based combo, and aggro decks, is not seeing more play.

Perhaps when going mono colored, a build that looks somehting like this...
