This deck aims to control the early game with discard and removal until it can stabilize mid-game and gain advantage through card draw. Pharika's Cure and Vampire Nighthawk provide more life to trade for cards, as well as do some damage. Ukud Cobra helps stabilize the board (EDIT: Ukud Cobra removed for Lashwrithe). Vampire Nighthawk and Bloodgift Demon provide inevitability. Pharika's Cure is usually worth the opponent's two drop and nullifies a shock to the face/gives u another 2 cards off Bloodgift Demon/gives you life for Sign in Blood. Lashwrithe makes for some great saves. Attach it to a Vampire Nighthawk for some serious lifegain and damage.

Gray Merchant of Asphodel has actually been my finisher and can makes a big impact in multiplayer games

Would appreciate some feedback on the deck from people who have played this type of deck before! (or anyone really who has anything that might help this progress along)
