Deck evolves around ally synergy that gains life and opponent loses life for life gained. Deck is passive and not meant for attacking. Inspired by Jaruun's standard deck but made changes by adding 2x Exquisite Blood (-1 Bontu's Monument and -1 Panhormonicon). Exquisite Blood synergizes with Cliffhaven Vampire and forms an endless loop as soon as you gain 1 life. I added 4x Ondu Clerics (-1 Zulaport Cutthroat and -3 Ondu War Cleric from Jaruun's version). Also, I added 4 Cavern of Souls to help prevent creatures from being countered but this land is expensive so if you want budget just add back 2 Swamp and 2 Plains from original deck. Have made many different changes as I continue to play test the deck. The deck significantly lacked card draw so I am experimenting with Sea Gate Loremaster, Well of Lost Dreams, or Phyrexian Arena to see which card is most efficient in the deck. Added 2x Go for the Throats to get rid of a pesky creature that is threatening you and 2x Athreos, God of Passage to make my opponent decide if they want to send my ally back to my hand or lose 3 life. Palace Siege is in the deck currently but still have not play tested it to see how efficient or worth while it will be and it may be too slow for the deck.
