Default [ALA] Finally a fun deck has it's Card (Invincible Hymn)

Good Morning,

For my preview, I am not giving you brokenness I'm not giving you type 2 playable.... i'm giving you your card based on a fun thing you can do with it in one of my favorite type of decks in the "New Legacy Fun Deck" once the rotation occurs, and we will figure it out from there.

Another Name for Indestructable + Hymn to Tourach - To Tourach = Name
Armageddon + Armageddon = CC
Sorcery

If I played my favorite "Legacy Fun" deck, and I said to you, I can either "Win the Game" by playing a very cheesy card,...... or gain at least 250 life with the card in my hand....... what should I do????? = ABILITY

Invincible Hymn 6ww
Sorcery
...working on ability...

(Barren Glory, in cheese form...something like - if you have no permanents in play, gain stupid life? destroy all permanents you control, gain stupid life for each one?)

EDIT: yeah, the BoW comparison below is probably accurate. I was confused by the 'cheese' comment.

Hello again zesty!

Invincible Hymn 6WW
Sorcery
You gain life equal to the number of cards in your library.
or
Your life total becomes the number of cards in your library.

That was exactly what I was thinking.
250 is a Battle of Wits-esque number.

Woah... if it's as frog suggests... imagine the ban hammer in highlander or EDH!

Nice to have you back Zest, esp after the childish drama from yesterday.

Enduring Hymn 6WW

Your opponent chooses one: you win the game, or you gain 250 life.

I wish lol. I really have no idea.

It's probably "If you have 200 or more cards in your library, your life total becomes the number of cards in your library."

He does say "gain AT LEAST 250 life..." hmmm. Might change things a little.

Invincible Hymn
6WW
Sorcery
Gain life equal to all cards in all players libraries or put 100 tokens on target permanent.

As an additional cost to play ~, remove all non-enchantment permanents you control from the game.
You gain a redonkulous amount of life. Your playgroup doesn't want to play with you anymore. They also set fire to your Boon Reflections

perhaps something less generous than what you're suggesting?
Invincible Hymn 6ww
Sorcery
As an additional cost to play ~, remove the top X cards of your library from the game.
Target player gains X life.

A little more generally usable, but with a good tradeoff. I can gain 250 life, but unless I had 300 cards in my library to begin with, I'd better find a way to win quick, lest I draw myself into oblivion. Not bad (as 'target player', not just 'gain') in 2HG.

Logic would support the "The deck you like is BoW and you get 1 life per card in the library".

that'd work nice with False Cure, even in a 60 card deck.
