One of my 3 BFZ prototypes. Things are pretty simple in here, Gain life, give lifelink, gain more life, pump, hit hard, gain even more life.

As for the deck breakdown:

Bloodbond Vampire and Malakir Familiar act as the deck DPS-ers.

Drana, Liberator of Malakir and Serene Steward helps pumping our Dinamic Duo whenever we gain life

Kalastria Healer and Retreat to Hagra pump our duo whenever we bring a creature/land into play, while Gideon, Ally of Zendikar provides up with unending tokens (and life, and pump, well, you got it.)

Stone Haven Medic give us a half-assed chump blocker and, you guess, one more chance to trigger all of our life-gain goodies on board.

Zulaport Cutthroat makes a little bit cost-ier to remove/block your creatures.

Defiant Bloodlord act as a finisher, turning your gain in their loss.

Ruinous Path and Stasis Snare gets rid of nuisances and clear the way so we can bite our opponent's neck, while Bone Splinters can be called as a desperate measure to trigger Zulaport & kill an early threat.

Tandem Tactics pumps our creatures twice, and Valorous Stance gives the sheltter we need from removals.

Scoured Barrens gives us even more life, and Ally Encampment fix our manabase.

March from the Tomb can help us getting over removals.

My doubts about this deck:

-> Will Retreat to Hagra work? At least enought to earn his deck slot?

-> Should I drop Stone Haven Medic / Defiant Bloodlord to get me one/two more Bloodbound Vampire / Zulaport Cutthroat, or maybe 4 Expedition Envoy?

-> Will I be able to set up the board in the actual meta?
