Mainly I hope to gain tons of life in the process of pinging down my opponent with that life gain. We can also create buttloads of tokens and benefit from their ETBs.

Pyre of Heroes is particularly a champion of this deck as it tutors our spiritual friends while bringing others back from the dead while Orah is out.

A main route to victory:

Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose or Sanguine Bond combined with the following:

Exsanguinate

Plunge into Darkness and sacrifice a ton of tokens.

Plunge into Darkness or Command the Dreadhorde or Plague of Vermin with Children of Korlis.

Make tons of tokens and Suture Priest, Soul's Attendant, Auriok Champion or Soul Warden.

Other routes include:

Tokens into Westvale Abbey   Ormendahl, Profane Prince

Tombstone Stairwell or Alliance of Arms with Thalisse, Reverent Medium, Anointed Procession or Divine Visitation.

Token Swarm with Bitterblossom, Court of Grace, Divine Visitation, Anointed Procession, Alliance of Arms, Secure the Wastes, Plague of Vermin, Thalisse, Reverent Medium, Tombstone Stairwell, Valkyrie Harbinger or Rotlung Reanimator.

Yawgmoth, Thran Physician sacrificing Priest of Ancient Lore with Mikaeus, the Unhallowed out can draw your deck and gain tons of life with a soul sister out.
