This deck is designed to achive 2 things. 1.) Steal enough life to avoid death or meet one of the life based wincons. 2.) Make sure that my things dying hurt oponents more than myself.

To maximize destruction to opponents when one of my creatures falls in combat or is sacrificed for utility I have Butcher of Malakir , Grave Pact , Dictate of Erebos , and Martyr's Bond Upping the chances that My sacrifices will be met with symmetrical destruction for 1 , or ramped destruction in case of 2 or more of these in play. Once opponents creatures die I have Grave Betrayal , Liliana Vess , or Coffin Queen to use them to my advantage.

Wincon1 DDOS the table. Exquisite Blood Pared with Sanguine Bond , Vizkopa Guildmage ,or Defiant Bloodlord creates infinite life gain/damage loop that triggers as soon as I gain life or an opponent takes damage.

Wincon2 Lifelinking avatar. using Ajani Steadfast , Vault of the Archangel , Vizkopa Guildmage , or Whip of Erebos I give Serra Avatar Lifelink knocking out one oponent per attack with Sanguine Bond , or Defiant Bloodlord and all at once with Vizkopa Guildmage

Wincon3 sacrafice Serra Avatar to Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim while Sanguine Bond , or Defiant Bloodlord are in play to deal your life total to an opponent, or deal your life total to all oponents with Vizkopa Guildmage

Wincon4 Pay spare life to Aethertflux Resevoir

Wincon5 life total via either Felidar Sovereign or Test of Endurance

Wincon6 Just watch everyone bleed. No one should be gaining life faster than me. Especally when Erebos, God of the Dead is in play.
