Unfortunately Archive Trap is only legal in a handful of sets, one of which being EDH, meaning you can only run one copy in a deck of 99 others
This is why so many players use at least one Giovanni in their deck.
There will always be one player at the table who most threatens your life total, and most lifegain decks also want to keep life high for the likes of Aetherflux Reservoir or game-winning triggers
Before the Lockdown Era, I achieved four Grand Prix wins (with nine of those including a Top 8 finish) along with three Top 16 Pro Tour finishes
