Norn's Annex & Manabarbs are a pain to deal with (the former is sideboarded for versing weenie decks). With Exquisite Blood out, every time they tap a land or (vs nonwhite) attack, I they lose life, I gain life.

Suture Priest + Manabarbs adds a steep loss of life to casting creatures. The priest offsets manabarbs damage for me as the creatures summoned/mana ratio is very high in this deck.

Vault of the Archangel is awesome. It isn't redundant with Exquisite Blood so for my creatures, every 1 damage dealt gives me 2 life.

The planeswalkers make the deck brutal. Chandra, the Firebrand makes lingering souls and timely reinforcements that much dumber and her ultimate -6 isn't hard to get with a ton of chump blockers. Sorin, Lord of Innistrad's -2 is too good and Elspeth Tirel has excellent versatility.

I might want to add more control aspects to this deck. I haven't decided or playtested it too much so any opinions would be appreciated.
