Life is Money and Money is Pain

Orzhov Lifegain - Started as a budget deck, and just want to improve as much as I can when budget allows it. I started from the Selenia, $20 Killing Machine, which was totally not $20 but I just love the tomfoolery, and have tweaked lands and a few substitute cards in hopes in making it faster and meaner.

The main idea behind this deck is to run yourself down as close to zero and trade life with your opponents, then chip away at them from there. Without taking away from that strategy, I wanted to add in an additional gain to all that life loss, and with Bolas's Citadel, I got it. It allows me to use my life total as my mana, and with that, mill out my deck onto the battlefield, using Necropotence and Sensei's Divining Top if I get stopped by a land. And when I run out of that sweet life juice, I take my opponents' and start again.

Current win-cons are:

Angel's Grace+Repay in Kind with 0 life

Exquisite Blood+Sanguine Bond infinite pain combo

Lifeloss: Bolas's Citadel/Hex Parasite/Wall of Blood/Necropotence +

Swap Lifetotals: Axis of Mortality/Reverse the Sands/Soul Conduit + a little bit of damage to your opponent.

Saving Graces:

Angel's Grace, Children of Korlis, Oketra's Last Mercy, and Tainted Sigil, and with a few being reusable with some recursion cards.
