This deck is calculated to simultaneously drain life of the opposition while building your life total. While something like a Kalastria Healer turn two and Drana's Emisary turn three and Cliffhaven Vampire will drain and gain slowly, the deck is also capable of some major combos. While a Rising Miasma might clear my board, with a Zulaport Cutthroat or two, that will do major damage. Similarly, attacking with as many allies as possible after casting Ondu's Rising combined with the Defiant Bloodlord could do significant damage. Rally the Ancestors provides a late game bomb for 4 mana with a couple Kalastria Healers in the graveyard.
