Deck Goal

Play cards like Essence Warden or Prosperous Innkeeper, build a large board, and then sacrifice it all for 'dies' triggers like Bastion of Remembrance or Deathgreeter! Dina, Soul Steeper, Marauding Blight-Priest, and Epicure of Blood then send this lifegain to the opponents' faces.

Notable Exclusion(s)

Not including Exquisite Blood because of how it would makes games end quite lamely with Dina. Not including Dictate of Erebos, Grave Pact, Butcher of Malakir, nor Savra, Queen of the Golgari right now.
