This is just a quick life-gain deck that I threw together. The idea is to either slowly kill your opponent with Sanguine Bond one of your bigger fliers, or get enough life to win with Felidar Sovereign or Aetherflux Reservoir. I also included the Sanguine Bond/Exquisite Blood combo as another win-con. I've always wanted to build a life-gain deck that really works, but I haven't really explored this concept much. If you have any suggestions for cards I could add or even a sideboard, feel free to leave a comment. Some ideas I had are in the maybeboard. Additionally, I thought about adding green for a few other cards such as Deathrite Shaman, but I didn't know if it was the right choice.
