How do you stop healing decks in MTG?
Just play aggro. Seriously, go full tilt on damage and overrun them before they can set up their life-gain machine. If they're busy healing, they're not stopping your onslaught.

Ah, the old battle against healing decks, the bane of many MTG players! Best strategies? Pack your deck with cards that limit life gain or even turn it into damage. Think cards like 'Tainted Remedy' where if an opponent would gain life, they lose that much life instead. 'Erebos, God of the Dead' is another solid pick, preventing opponents from gaining life altogether. And don't forget about direct disruption with counterspells and targeted removal to keep their major life-gain sources off the board.
In my experience, using 'Rain of Gore' has been hilarious against life-gain decks. They think they're about to get a big life boost and BAM, it's damage instead. Never gets old.
