---

This deck utilizes Cabal Coffers and Phyrexian Arena for compounding ramp and card advantage gains. The win conditions are powerful life drain spells like Sorin's Vengeance and dumping boatloads of mana into into shade creatures like Darkling Stalker to turn them into huge threats.

The deck packs ten removal spells, four of which can kill two creatures at a time, and any creature left standing tends not to attack anyways when there is a Typhoid Rats or Will-o'-the-Wisp on the board. But if damage does get through in early game, it's generally a non-issue because of how much mid- and late-game lifegain is available.

This deck is an absolute powerhouse in 2HG. Without question, I would take it over my much more expensive Modern Affinity deck or B/W Tokens deck for this purpose.
