This deck is based around manipulating life gain and life loss and forcing opponents to sacrifice permanents. You sacrifice your own creatures to punish your opponents even more.

CARD CHOICES:

• Vish Kal, Blood Arbiter, Fiend Hunter, Luminate Primordial , Oblation, Plague Wind , Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts, Unmake , Archon of Justice, Reaper from the Abyss, Dark Impostor , Day of Judgment, Mortify , Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief: Various forms of removal. Some mass and some direct. Lots of exile effects to deal with cards like Avacyn, and Oblation to get rid of pesky commanders.

• Martyr's Bond , Grave Pact, Butcher of Malakir: Sacrifice effects to force my opponents to lose creatures whenever I pump my commander.

• Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts, Ogre Slumlord, Bloodghast, Bloodline Keeper  : Token generation and recurrable creatures to constantly feed Vish Kal and trigger things like Grave Pact

• Nim Deathmantle, Sun Titan, Sheoldred, Whispering One, Phyrexian Reclamation, Mimic Vat, Obzedat's Aid : Ways to either recur or reuse my lost creatures.

• Bloodgift Demon, Griselbrand, Harvester of Souls, Phyrexian Arena: Card draw

• Sol Ring, Thran Dynamo, Gilded Lotus, Crypt Ghast, Cabal Coffers, Nirkana Revenant : Mana ramp of various kinds

• Liliana Vess, Increasing Ambition, Beseech the Queen: Tutors

• Deathrender , Quicksilver Amulet: Ways to cheat in some heavy hitters or get creatures into the game at instant speed

COMBOS:

• Vish Kal, Blood Arbiter equipped with Blade of the Bloodchief = everything with toughness 2 or less dies. Works wonders against decks that utilize tokens.

• Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond or Vizkopa Guildmage = win. All opponents lose all their life. Blood Tribute can be substituted for Exquisite Blood

• Sun Titan + Fiend Hunter + Vish Kal, Blood Arbiter = Infinitely large Vish Kal or wipe the opponent's board. Cast Fiend Hunter targeting Sun Titan, the Titan gets exiled, sacrifice the Hunter to Vish Kal to put counters on him returning the Titan. When the Titan returns, target the Hunter in the yard returning it to the battlefield, exiling the Titan to restart the loop. Removing the counters from Vish Kal as you go you can kill all the opponents creatures, if you have something like Grave Pact out you can wipe all their untargetable creatures as well.
