Actually playing Magic is so messy and complicated. Why not just sit there looking pretty and circumvent all that nasty attacking using Lifegain/drain and removal?

(Is this deck actually good at that? Not super tbh. This deck really doesn't have any strong combos in it)

My Current Possible Maybe Upgrade Ideas?

-Replace 2x Nirkana Assasin with 2x Malakir Familiar

-Replace 2x Mortuary Mire with 2x Scoured Barrens

-Replace 3x Angelic Purge with 3x Revoke Existence

-Replace 2x Bloodbond Vampire with 2x Kingpin's Pet

-Remove Allies aspect of deck

-Replace something with more Lone Riders?

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
