Life Sacrifce (2)

This is a 100$ budget lifegain EDH deck with a little touch of voltron based on Karlov of the ghost council. The deck has some treats that you can use with your life such as Aetherflux Reservoir, or Ajani's -6 ability.

  • Lifegain - Your basic life gaining inputs.
  • Life Users - Cards that use the amount of life you have for things like "X, where X is your life total"
  • Gain Triggers - Things that trigger whenever you gain life.
  • Life Sacrifice - things that make you pay life for effects.
  • Mana - Things that give you mana.
  • Removal - Any forms of removing threats - Creatures, Enchantments, Artifacts, etc.
  • Utility - Other things that do help the deck but don't fit into any other category.

Things are categorized for their main use in play, not for all uses.

Ayli, Obzedat or Kambal can also be your commander instead of Karlov, and you can just shuffle him into the deck instead, though in my opinion Karlov is still the best.

Turn 1 - Plains to Soul Warden.

Turn 2 - Swamp to Karlov, Karlov is 4/4.

Turn 3 - Kabira Crossroads, Karlov at 6/6, and a 2 drop, Idealy Ayli, Karlov at 8/8, ready to swing!

Here will be infinite combos I find. If you find another one suggest it!

Combo 1: Sanguine Bond+Exquisite Blood+Dealing Damage/Gaining Life. Will actually win you the game unless one of your opponents has hexproof/shroud.

Combo 2: Vizkopa Guildmage's second ability+Exquisite Blood+dealing damage/gaining life. Same as first one, but works even if an opponent has hexproof/shroud.

Combo 3: Exquisite Blood+Cliffhaven Vampire+dealing damage/gaining life. Same thing.

Here will be upgrades for the deck (Not super-powerful things such as the ABU dual lands) that aren't in the budget.

Here will be everyone who suggested cards for the deck! Thank You!
If you are interested in playing the deck, proxy it/try it on xmage. If you find recurring flaws, please mention them in the comments, and if you can suggest a way to fix them :)

If you actually purchase the singles for building the deck (In which case, you're awesome!) if you're using a service like channelfireball, you can choose a card condition. I suggest choosing slightly played instead of NM to shave a couple of cents (sometimes even a dollar). It sounds like nothing, but with such a large purchase it does matter!

Feel free to suggest cards, just keep in mind the budget and suggest a card to get out instead.
