Deck based around Vela's ability to cause table-wide life loss with creatures who can easily slip in and out of battle and connect with her ability to give Intimidate. Cloning herself causes all copies of her to see each other die, causing compounding life loss.

Kicked Rite of Replication causes 6 Vela copies to see 5 copies die, totaling 30 life loss. Blade of Selves in a 4-Player match causes 3 Vela copies to see 2 copies die, totaling 6 life loss.
