The deck provides great value, constant control once stabilized, and awesome card draws. Blood Baron provides that added protection from the best removal that will be out there and a way to gain back the life.Obzedat can trigger Heliod on/off which allows him to remove himself as a target during your opponents turns. Elspeth is amazing in here. Play her after a Verdict and take over.Jace is awesome, by itself and in conjuction with Elspeth. It's fun when you get to play a little Superfriends.

In the sideboard we have a few things against the mirror, white weenie, and aggro, I'd like to add in enchantment destruction like Keening apparition maybe but I think the D-Shere's work all the same.
