The idea behind this deck came when I thought I might have enough life gain cards to make an alright deck. Since then, I've added and subtracted. I'm currently sitting on these 60 cards and its always ready to be changed up. Suggestions welcome and anything that works better is always appreciated. I'm on a bit of a budget but small purchases here and there is already the norm. I would like to maybe use it competitively but right now I want it to play consistently.

As far as win conditions, Sanguine Bond in combinations with nearly anything. Dying Wish + Killing Wave + Wall of Limbs is one of my favorites. Also Essence Harvest + Wall of Limbs . Gift of Orzhova is the primary enchantment and that will get the lifegain going. An early drop of Agent of the Fates with an Ethereal Armor and/or Sunbond makes it difficult on my opponent to keep creatures out. Congregate gets me out near-death experiences and Ajani Steadfast is a good distraction from my increasing life gain with the potential to completely disallow damage.

I would like to work Alms Beast + Tainted Remedy into this deck and I also want to get Exquisite Blood.
