Orzhov Lifegain / Voltron Deck

Victory Strategy

  1. Keep (or regain) at least 40 life and play Felidar Sovereign
  2. Get up to 50 life and play Test of Endurance
  3. Exquisite Blood goes infinite with Cliffhaven Vampire or Sanguine Bond to wipe out all opponents.
  4. Get enough life to 1 shot your opponent with Aetherflux Reservoir and survive it. You'll want to have more than 51 unless you are down to 1 opponent.
  5. Karlov get's really big really fast if you aren't using him for removal. The only thing you need is some evasion and protection for him and he can be a decent voltron commander. And if you don't get that, then hey he's still good for removal.
  6. With at least 1 of { Necropotence , Bolas's Citadel }, use it to get the other and Aetherflux Reservoir . If you can get all 3, you can play most of your deck paying life to do so and getting more than you paid back once you play enough spells in one turn, with Necropotence drawing lands out of your way.
  7. Sanguine Bond + Beacon of Immortality likely removes a target player. Sanguine also multiplies damage from Exsanguinate by the number of players, so it will probably finish the target player as long as you pour in a decent amount of mana.
  8. If you haven't drawn or have lost the cards for the other routes to victory, then you're mainly trying to win by attrition. With the amount of lifegain in this deck, you should hopefully be able to outlast anyone that doesn't have any infinite combos in their deck.

You basically always want to use Obzedat, Ghost Council 's exile and return next turn ability when you have the option, because it triggers all of your enter the battlefield abilities such as Suture Priest , or the Soul sisters ( Soul Warden & Soul's Attendant ) plus Auriok Champion .

Remember: Soul Sisters trigger for all creature entry, not just yours.
