The new offering from the Church of Orzhova - Life As A Service (LAAS). Who needs mana when your life is a resource?

Wincons

• Gaining life and spending it on a long chain of spells from Bolas's Citadel , then using Children of Korlis to do it all again!
• Extort everyone to death - Basilica Guards , Knight of Obligation , Treasury Thrull , Bontu's Monument
• Drain for one again after the extort with Cliffhaven Vampire , Epicure of Blood
• Loop Kokusho, the Evening Star
• Creature beatdown with Archangel of Thune , Bloodbond Vampire , Bloodthirsty Aerialist
• When all else fails - Debt to the Deathless or... Bond of Agony as backup!

Sweet combos

• Gain 4 life with Angelic Accord out, sacrifice the Angel to Ayli on next turn to gain 4 life - rinse and repeat every turn.
• Aetherflux Reservoir and various extort effects can make Bolas's Citadel actually gain you life...
• Sacrifice some nice (<3CMC) lifegain fodder like Wall of Shards , Ministrant of Obligation and Orzhov Enforcer , then bring them back when you attack with Bishop of Rebirth and Treasury Thrull

NOTE: no Exquisite Blood because I want to play this deck more than once with my playgroup... :)
