This is my little attempt at paying my respects to the precon deck that got me into magic; orzhov oppression. I've always loved the whole life drain concept and I need an EDH deck for my playgroup so I decided now would be the best time to do this. The deck does several different things- all of which loosely tie back to Ayli, the commander. This deck likes to do direct damage to the opponent's life total, gain massive amounts of life, get rid of any major threats (sometimes with board wipes), and pay some of that life to draw cards or get stuff back from the graveyard. With all my decks, I like to keep things in the below 50$ range, and I just made it with this. There are plenty of non-budget cards you can throw in here that work great, but I tried to keep things at the bare minimum while still keeping the quality moderately okay. I know, the mana base is pretty funky, but I personally would rather have access to the right colors than faster mana. But, obviously you can change it to fit your priorities. I'm really excited to start playing with this and I'm not too sure there are any really good budget cards I can fit in here but if you have any suggestions please give them.
