Any random midrange deck
Of course, defending with creatures that have a higher defense against low-attack enemies is always the best idea
The card boasts a holofoil design and currently sells for just over $323 but has fetched up to $452 in the past
However, Nine Lives could still see play in certain Deathrattle-focused Hunter decks for its unique Discover mechanic and potential for repeated value generation
Further Upgrades The first cards I'd pick up to further juice up the deck would be untapped mana-fixing lands: Watery Grave, Shipwreck Marsh, Underground River, Morphic Pool, Darkslick Shores, Polluted Delta, Sunken Ruins, Undercity Sewers, Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and then maybe a couple more Island / Swamp fetches
