The intended win condition is life loss via life gain triggers (see Marauding Blight-Priest and Dina, Soul Steeper)

Attended Healer is there to trigger "gain life when creatures enter the battlefield" abilities (Lunarch Veteran, Kor Celebrant, Prosperous Inkeeper) which causes those to trigger twice because of its own ability.

Curses of Leeches is to trigger Attended Healer and Mortality Spear on opponents turns.

Righteous Valkyrie is there for flying defense and possible alternate win condition (along with life gain)

Relic Vial is great for denying opponents lifelink attackers by sacrificing Cat tokens when they block. Also good for card advantage and triggering many abilities.

Dig Up is for mana fixing (three colour deck might need it) and for grabbing single copy cards in deck. Cosmos Elixir for life gain/card advantage, Valkmira for a bit of extra defense - especially against Oni-Cult Anvil, Haunting Voyage is for dealing with board wipes, Field of Ruin to deal with annoying land combos like Faceless Haven with Book of Exalted Deeds.

Portable Hole is to prevent graveyard reclamation and to deal with indestructible cards.

I have found that this deck is a bit weak against trample and fliers. I have used Scute Swarm with Evolving Wilds as a tactic for this deck but it is too easily killed and gets targeted almost instantaneously, usually before its copy ability triggers.

Any suggestions to make this more competitive are welcome.
