Shilgengar's rule text:

Flying Sacrifice another creature: create a blood token. If you sacrifice an angel this way, create a blood tokens for equal to its toughness instead.

White|black, white|black, white|black, sacrifice six blood tokens: return each creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield with a finality counter on it. Those creatures are vampires in addition to their other types.

This deck is going to be a typical orzhov token deck with some lifegain subtheme for sac'ing tokens.

Rodolph is a substitute for the leaked shilgengar as commander.

Although I might add Rodolph into the deck at some point as well.

The goal of the deck is to create as many tokens as possible as sacrificial fodder for pay offs to shilgengar's effect to create blood tokens while also getting some payoff such as drain effects. The sub theme of the deck is life gain to create angel tokens. We also will turn our little 1/1 tokens into 4/4 angels with Divine Visitation. Close out games with cards like Atherflux Reservoir, Angel of Destiny, Wound Reflection, demon of despair, Bloodletter of Aclazotz or just swarm them with tokens!

Recur ur stuff with shilgengar's second ability.

Draw cards almost infinitely using Bolas's Citadel, Vilis, Broker of Blood, and Well of Lost Dreams due to your insane health pool!

My play group does not go infinite which is why i don't have Exquisite Blood in the deck.
