This is my attempt at making a budget lifegain deck. The deck uses Kambal, Consul of Allocation as the commander and the strategy is to gain as much life as possible while weaponizing that lifegain with cards such as Vizkopa Guildmage , Defiant Bloodlord , and Sanguine Bond . The deck also features Felidar Sovereign as an alternative win condition. Let me know what you think of the deck!

I think the deck needs more lifegain payoffs, but I'm not sure what to add/remove. What do you think?

P.S. I am currently in the process of acquiring Exquisite Blood and Aetherflux Reservoir so don't worry about suggesting those.
