I loved Banehound and Leyline Prowler almost as soon as I saw them in War of the Spark. I wanted to build a Standard Deck that could support them. It's gone through a lot of iterations in my head, and I'd like to finally build a deck that pulls from all of the current Standard block instead of JUST the Ravnica set. Feedback is greatly appreciated because I'm not new to deck-building but I am new to making competitive Standard decks. Due to this, I think I went a little overboard picking some of the cards (Especially from the Ixalan set which I completely missed during my hiatus). This iteration seems to focus on Lifelink and Deathtouch, allowing Elenda and Vona to utilize their unique abilities. Resplendent Angel can make angels that can be eaten by Temple of Aclazotz, basically netting 10 life per turn if I just swing with a single Banehound or Vampire token. Deathtouch, Tetzimoc, and Vona help fuel Elenda, Poison-Tip Archer, and The Haunt of Hightower. Just talking through these interactions, I'm afraid the deck will be too reliant on getting these specific combos of cards instead of the entire deck synergizing together. We shall see.

Enter Sorin — June 26, 2019

Edit

I have added Sorin, Vengeful Bloodlord to the deck along with his vampire friends Cruel Celebrant. With Sorin in the deck, there wasn't much reason to lean so heavily on Leonin Warleader to supply lifelinkers and also helps with the removal of Banehound and Leyline Prowler I did earlier. Isareth the Awakener is now in the deck for some much-needed recursion if the opponent continually removes my threats. Speaking of removal, the sideboard now has some proper answers such as Despark and Ixalan's Binding. This allows me to control my opponent more if Vraska, Relic Seeker and Spark Harvest aren't enough. Before I made these changes, I was actually able to test my standard deck versus another player! It went well and I wound up taking the best of 3 with W-L-W! It seemed my opponent was not keen on me churning out angels because in both games that I won, he scooped as soon as Resplendent Angel got the angel token out. Llanowar Elves and Bond of Flourishing both worked really well for ramp. Turn-1 Elf into Turn-2 Bond is great if I have an opening hand with just 1 land.
