This deck can do a little bit of everything. I have always been a fan of dealing damage to opponents without their consent and without assigning blockers. This deck can do that in several ways.

• 1 The primary goal here is to heal alot, while draining life away from your opponents. Exquisite Blood, Spirit Loop, and Wall of Reverence provide direct healing while Debt to the Deathless, Bloodchief Ascension and Suffer the Past drain life from opponents to strengthen yourself.

• 2 A secondary goal of this deck is to produce singular powerful creatures and either manage to swing them past defenders, or directly apply their power against your opponent's life totals in other ways Roiling Horror or Divinity of Pride or Serra Avatar are the big guys along with boosts and enchants

• 2.5 Effects to apply to large powerful creatures include Vizkopa Guildmage or Unquestioned Authority or Xathrid Demon

• 3 Make yourself very difficult to damage or attack using Righteous Aura, Sphere of Safety and Purity

• 4 Build a token army using Luminarch Ascension or Soul Foundry

• 5 Miscellaneous effects include: Tutoring, Card draw, Mana excell, One or two infinite combo game winners, commander lockdown, answers to out of control token creation/abuse, board-wipe/reset, Grave recycle, as well as a good-old-fashioned Felidar Sovereign to just win the game :)

One a side noteI never intend to cast my commander. He just sits there dishing out 2 life per turn. It is "possible" to cast him, but not exactly this deck's goal. He does his job well enough without ever entering the field.

On the topic of tri-color decks I find that it either makes mana a problem or makes the deck very expensive, either way I'm not interested.

In closing: This deck is able to do most anything but it is designed to deal damage directly to opponents without needing to swing in combat, and to heal a lot.

Thankyou for taking the time to read and comment, I'm always looking to improve. (unless a 15$+ card is involved, like several in my "maybe board")
