Thanks for checking out my janky deck! The game plan is to play Tainted Remedy and force our opponents to "gain" life, or play Sanguine Bond and burn them every time I gain life.

I've made countless rough drafts of different versions of this deck. This is more or less the most straight forward version I have built; I have looked at prison builds, enchantment themes, combo-heavy packages, etc. , but none of them look as good (or fun) of a shell as this contraption I have put together here.

I am always excited to hear suggestions so please let me know if you have any! Thanks!

Notes to self:

Kambal vs. Kaya's Guile: which should be swapped out for Plague Drone?

Is Grim Tutor needed now that Plague Drone, Vito, and Sanguine Bond are in the deck?

This deck needs a mana base adjustment. 21 seems too low for the strategy and high mana costs.
