This deck is an idea I came up with when Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose was spoiled. The main idea of the deck is to use mana doublers to cast spells with "x" in its cost, dealing x damage, and at the least you gain x life. Even better are the X spells that say "you gain life equal to life lost this way" where the effect affects all other players. This lifegain is converted into damage output to a target player. Also, we can double our damage output even further with cards like Wound Refection and Archfiend of Despair

I need someone to test this in some competitive pods please. I cannot do it myself due to the fact that most of the stores the hold commander night or cEDH events are not holding the events until COVID is to safer levels.
