Leading A Questionable Lifesteal

Standard* Lifegain WB (Orzhov)

andreuswolf


Sideboard


A very heavily modified version of the preconstructed Orzhov Power deck. When personalising this deck, I stripped it down to bare bones and then had a very long think about what the core application of this deck should be. That function, I decided, was Extort and other forms of offensive lifegain. Ideally I rarely even need to attack my opponent - simply extorting him every time I cast a spell.

Vizkopa Guildmage accelerates the process of draining enemy life. In case the enemy tries to get clever, Smog Elemental devalues their flying creatures, Sin Collector devalues their hands and in an emergency I can use Riot Control to gain life, blunt their offensive, trigger Extort and perhaps even deal damage if Vizkopa Guildmage is up. The two Crypt Ghasts mean I never have to worry about mana for fueling Extort, either.
