Endless Lifedrain

Modern Lifegain WB (Orzhov)

Nekrell


Sideboard

Creature (3)

Sorcery (1)

Enchantment (2)


A deck of extort/lifegain combos triggered by returning creatures from the graveyard. Keep extort until a endless life drain combo is complete.

The strategy is simple: Keep discard, summon, sacrifice and re-summon from the graveyard Gravecrawler to activate the effects of Wayward Servant , Bontu's Monument , Epicure of Blood and the Orzhov cards ( Basilica Screecher base extort card; Crypt Ghast for mana acceleration; Blind Obedience for a mild control; Pontiff of Blight main font of extort damage and life gain).

Altar's Reap for force the re-summon of the two returning zombie while heal from damage and accelerate my game. Diregraf Ghoul has been added for ensure the presence of more zombies while the battlefield is under the effect of Heartless Summoning

the Bontu's Monument + Heartless Summoning + Myr Retriever combo has been added. The same combo can be adapted to work with Gravecrawler as triggers and with Wayward Servant and the other Orzhov cards as drain life damage dealers, in a weaker way of course. Myr Retriever combo can be a 3°turn win.

Epicure of Blood + Exquisite Blood combo has been addes. Many are the triggers of this late game combo and in presence of Bontu's Monument and/or Heartless Summoning it will be much more economic.

Mortuary Mire and Dead Revels for save from the graveyard non returning creatures.

Questions: I feel this deck still a little bit too slow with mana production, any advice? Also, it is really weak against non creature decks, there's a way i can manage to protect my extort creatures without losing too much of the original strategy?

In hope to receive some help and thoughts, thanks to all viewers.
