While playing Yugioh I always played a Nurse deck. Nurse made it so when you opponent would gain life they lose it instead. I want to bring the strategy into MTG. I found cards like Rain of Gore, but i need cards that force my opponent to gain life. cards that say Target player gains x life, or cards that remove then give the controller life. I found cards like Oust, Condemn, Healing Salve, Nature's Claim, Congregate, Wall of Shards, and Beacon of Immortality.
You're in luck. Tainted Remedy has just been spoiled from Origin
edit: Rain of Gore doesn't work since the opponent needs to control the spell that gains him life. As far as other life gainers go there's Fiery Justice and Grove of Burnwillows and as for "punishers" there's Kavu Predator
There is a whole deck built ariunfaround this idea in Legacy. It's called "The Cure". You should see about adapting it over since Tainted makes that a possibility.
Complete credit goes to Caleb Durward, But Beacon of Immortality is really the main lifegain spell you want to be using, since the way the wording works allows it to ALWAYS one-shot your opponent with Tainted Remedy. Other than Wall of Shards the other lifegain cards aren't worth it.
