My Life... Not Yours (Standard MTG Deck)

First of all, I'd like to give a shout out to @DjinnjerVitis with his deck A Vampire Always Pays His Debts... and @cptjmaverick with Orzhov's the Name, Lifegain's the game for giving me the inspiration for this deck. It's a lot like theirs but I've made a few tweaks to it that seem to fit my play style pretty well.

Essentially the point of the deck is to gain life while slowly taking theirs with cards like Obzedat, Ghost Council , Sanguine Bond, Rhox Faithmender, Tithe Drinker and Strionic Resonator to double their effects and hit harder. Then use cards like Debt to the Deathless and Blood Baron of Vizkopa to seal the deal.

Crypt Ghast is a must for its ridiculous mana ramping abilities and the added extort is a plus.

I main Doom Blade and side Victim of Night due to the lower cmc and better utility.

Cards like Merciless Eviction, Silence , Riot Control, Vampire Nighthawk and High Priest of Penance are for locking down the oponent.

Sign in Blood is more of a utility to give me card advantage or just knock off that little extra life from the oponent. Combined with Crypt Ghast and Rhox Faithmender I can extort it and then draw without penalty of taking life.

Also, I have Archangel of Thune in my side board because I have yet to acquire them.

Please feel free to comment, critique and/or question!

Edit

I swapped out 4 Plains for 4 Isolated Chapel for the time being while they're still in standard. after the rotation, i'll switch them back for Plains again. I also put Archangel of Thune my main deck in place of Riot Control seeing as how Riot Control is more of a case by case card.
