W/B (Orzhov) Drain and Life gain.

Overall strategy is to continually hit and ping for damage and drain while gaining life until dropping either Gearhulks or getting Gisela onto the field as win conditions.

Drain and Gain

Accursed Witch   being a great versatile creature, will on every opponent's upkeep drain 1 life (when flipped) and allow me to gain 1 life continually, stacking with Cliffhaven Vampire doubling the upkeep trigger. Kambal, Consul of Allocation combos in this nicely to make it painful for an opponent to try and destroy any of the above mentioned cards and also triggering Cliffhaven Vampire's ability as well.

The Muscle

Lone Rider  , Cataclysmic Gearhulk, Noxious Gearhulk and Gisela, the Broken Blade are my larger threats and allow the deck to keep up pressure and clearing up the opponents board. Essence Extraction + Lone Rider means I will always have an easy trigger for the flip. Aerial Responder adds in good consistent damage and lifelink in the early game until my larger creatures are out on my board.
