Their lose is your gain.

Use an arsenal of spells that simultaneously heals your life while also draining your opponents. Steal your opponents life and shut out the game with double life (or triple or MORE!) than you started with!!

With cards like Sanguine Bond, Exquisite Blood, Wall of Reverence and Sunbond surely you see how interesting things can get!!!

Game Play

• Early game field enchantments (such as Authority of the Consuls & Brave the Sands) and walls (such as Wall of Reverence & Tree of Perdition) are priority. The enchantments and walls are to keep your opponent at bay while you build. Low mana cost creatures like Kambal, Consul of Allocation and Suture Priest will help start the life drain/gain early game.

• Ideally, around turn five you should have Wall of Reverence out and play Sanguine Bond. At this point you should have enchantments restricting your opponent, creatures draining your opponent (and healing you, which drains them twice as hard with Sanguine Bond down now), and walls to defend with.

• Now start building your threat. Sunscorch Regent is ideal however Nefarox, Overlord of Grixis is just as nasty and great for removal. Lacking both? Attaching Sunbond to any creature can quickly make any creature a serious threat. (Esp Bloodbond Vampire or even Angelic Skirmisher

• Your opponent will most likely target your creature threats. Use instants (its expected to have used at least one of these before this point) Hero's Downfall, Blessed Alliance, Dawn Charm, etc as needed or take the hits. Really. Take the hits. You end up with more life than you'll need and sparing the creature that burns your opponent next turn is def worth it. You should have enough life drain on your opponent and removal instants where they won't be able to out swing you regardless. You will become an impenetrable force with an excess of life relative to your opponents by the time they break through your walls.

Combos

Sanguine Bond + Wall of Reverence: At the end of your turn you heal and burn your opponent

Sunbond + Bloodbond Vampire or Sunbond + Sunscorch Regent: ESP if Wall of Reverence is on the field

Righteousness + Aerial Responder or Vampire Nighthawk: anything with lifelink, esp if Sanguine Bond is out

Cruel Sadist + empty mana: Use her first tap effect if you have extra mana at the end of your turn. It's a great way to build up leftover mana to remove a threat later.

Insta Win

Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond any amount of damage to your opponent or heals to you and that's game over man
