Basically White/Black Control with a Drain & Gain sub-theme or Death by 1000 cuts.

Unlike most Kambal/Atheros decks i havent gone for a full on Pillowfort/Discard Stax strategy. While i find the strategy fun and fair enough many players feel otherwise and i can understand that. That being said Orzhov is my jam.

I've designed this deck to function more as the control deck on the table, dealing with the biggest threats on the board, sweeping up every so often and mostly just incidentally gaining life while preventing your opponents from winning.

I do have the exquisite blood + Cliffhaven/vizkopa infinite combo with a few tutors for the same in case someoe really pisses me off, but for the most part i tried to keep it friendly.

Any fun combos i missed? Any improvement suggestions? Im open to making it more competitive but am not sure how to do so.
