Tainted Lost for Ultra Hard

Description
Replaces Ultra Hard's starting character with Tainted Lost.

As crazy as it sounds, I think this makes the Ultra Hard challenge much more bearable. Tainted Lost has a stronger start with extra damage to help deal with bloated champion HP, doesn't give a ♥♥♥♥ about heart drops, and has a significantly "improved" item pool. Free devil deals are a nice bonus too.

If you're struggling with this challenge but don't want to resort to SAM, console commands, or using cheat mods, give this mod a shot.

...i kinda want to do this challenge with tainted lost, but i tried a normal run with them and got stuck in a vicious cycle of dying and restarting for a whole day, so maybe that's a challenge for future me.

in some ways, i feel like this is the better option for ultra hard, perhaps more fitting, but i'll have to hold off on beating it with tainted lost for now, with my current lack of ability...

What about if it made you play as Isaac mimicking Tainted Lost? As in, you still play as Isaac, but he's permanently stuck on half a soul heart. Meaning you don't get flight, spectral, increased holy card chance, better items, OR free devil deals. You just DIE.

(I mean, there's no way I'D torture myself by playing through such an experience, but I'm sure SOMEONE would.)
