This was a gimmick deck I made back when the Innestrad Block was in standard--Chalice of Life   / Chalice of Death   was too fun to pass up!

The key to this deck is to gain life and protect myself long enough to get the Chalices out and trigger the flip to Chalice of Death and ping my opponents dead.

Norn's Annex helps slow down my opponent's attack, and cards such as Sunspring Expedition, Well, Riot Control, Angel's Mercy, Font of Vigor and Feed the Clan to push life gain until I can flip the Chalices.

EDIT 2/16: tore most of the deck apart and rebuilt it in order to speed up the deck and re-focus on life gain. Also added a sub-goal of combo'ing +1/+1 counters with added affects.
