Life gain deck
Standard forum
Posted on May 15, 2013, 11:35 p.m. by spartan24
I am looking to build a standard life ramp deck that revolves around Blood Baron of Vizkopa . I am looking for any and all suggestions, ideas, or deck lists that might jumpstart my brain. Colorwise i was think either BW or BWG but like i said i am open to suggestions.

Personally, I would run B/W and use lifelink and extort as the main win cons.
You could include things like Vizkopa Guildmage , Rhox Faithmender , Chalice of Life Flip , Vampire Nighthawk , Tithe Drinker which all work towards getting your Blood Baron's ability to trigger.
With all the extra life you will be gaining, you could also include Blood Scrivener , Sign in Blood or Underworld Connections for extra card draw, which hopefully gets you to your Blood Baron quicker.

Go junk (BWG).. have Thragtusk , Trostani, Selesnya's Voice , Rhox Faithmender , Disciple of Bolas , Obzedat, Ghost Council , some tokens like Call of the Conclave , Advent of the Wurm , some mana fixing/ramp with Farseek , some removals and you are set for tons of life.. if u also want lifelink go for Vault of the Archangel

Thank you for all the contributions so far. You have given me a lot to work with creature wise. However my next question is what would i use for removal or to lock down the board until i am ready roll?

Abrupt Decay , Putrefy , Selesnya Charm , Orzhov Charm those are the best removals in the format! Pick your poisons! :p

If you want to stay strictly black/white, then your best bets are Orzhov Charm , Renounce the Guilds , Ultimate Price , and Murder . Mutilate is really effective if your deck is mostly black.

Your best bet would probably be a deck revolving around Cartel Aristocrat , Bloodthrone Vampire , Blood Artist , and Immortal Servitude . You can gain tons of life, bring them all back, repeat, then finish off with Blood Baron of Vizkopa and Obzedat, Ghost Council .
