The original idea of this deck is using a card's ability to make an opponent lose life while the player gains life. The basic idea behind this deck is to constantly trigger Parasitic Strix with either Cavern Harpy, Unsummon, or Esperzoa paired with Sludge Strider 's ability since it triggers when an artifact enters or leaves play. This deck also has an alternative win-con with Felidar Sovereign but depending on who your opponent is, you might not get to 40 life before they go to 0 life.

I am considering adding some forced mill into this deck (that isn't Mindcrank )) in order to make Bloodchief Ascension's trigger pop more often but I haven't played with the overhauled deck yet so I don't know how often my opponents will be placing cards in their grave yard.

Currently using side board as cards I am planning on putting into the deck while the maybe board are for cards I am considering.

Edit

I removed Mindcrank as playing with an infinite combo was no longer fun for me and was never fun for my opponents. I removed Smolder Initiate for two more Tithe Drinkers since extort is in line with what this deck's main goal is. So I was willing to remove my one drops for that. I removed Tower Gargoyle and Highway Robber since they both were cards I didn't like playing since their mana costs were high for what they did compared to other cards in my deck. I also removed Kingpin's Pet and I reduced Sludge Strider by one since his ability isn't that important overall compared to other cards.

I replaced those cards with an additional Brago, King Eternal, another Obzedat, Ghost Council, 2 Jhessian Balmgivers, 3 Turn to Mists for the blink effects, and I switched up the mana base adding 2 Rupture Spires as place holders for whatever I decide to replace them with.
