This deck is about gaining life, making your opponent lose life, and interacting with life gain.

Update on 20/8/18 I've made changes to the deck to include more win cons and to theme it around life gain/drain. Not sure that it's quick enough or as brutal as I'd like but maybe that's just the way it is.

What can I replace to make it better?

Win Con 1

Vraska, Scheming Gorgon's emblem is a win con that when an op is dealt damage by a creature that turn, they lose the game.

Win Con 2

Epicure of Blood or Sanguine Bond + Exquisite Blood are an infinite life drain combo. Start by gaining or making an op lose life and the rest will do itself.

Win Con 3

A flipped Azor's Gateway + Debt to the Deathless, Exsanguinate or Profane Command can by an instant kill. When Azor's Gateway is flipped it will net you a ton of mana (hopefully) and then you can use said mana for an X cost to make your op lose all their life.

Win Con 4

Tree of Perdition + Triskaidekaphobia is the well known combo that can force you op's life to 13 and then kill them.

Win Con 5

Beacon of Immortality + Tainted Remedy is a fun combo. When Tainted Remedy is on the field you can use Beacon of Immortality to target you op. They will instead lose 2x life and be instantly killed.

Win Con 6

Serra Avatar should be able to grow to a huge threat. If you op can't answer it it can be lethal.

Win Con 7

Test of Endurance states that if you have 50 or more life at your next upkeep, you win. Simple really.

Win Con 8

Much like Win Con 7, Felidar Sovereign is an upkeep life checker, but this one only requires 40 life. However the downside is that it's a creature.

Win Con 9

While Famished Paladin + Resplendent Mentor don't kill you op, they go infinite with life gain. For many decks this will be too much to handle. You can also use the life for other things if you need.
