Exquisite Blood

Enchantment

Whenever an opponent loses life, you gain that much life.

Back with another bunch of first person cards legendofa, mostly from the first Innistrad block. I compared lists and you already had some so I ignored those.

Definites:

•Death's Caress

•Faith's Shield

•Increasing Devotion

•Mystic Retrieval (also the Avacyn version of the card)

•Thraben Doomsayer

•Triumph of Cruelty

Questionables:

•Frightful Delusion definitely FPP, but no hands from off screen.

•Ghoulcaller's Bell

•Night Terrors shadows are coming from the wrong direction, I don’t think this is from the perspective of the vampire

•Sharpened Pitchfork perspective correct shadows, but no hands

•Wooden Stake perspective too low I wager

•Chalice of Death  Flip this could be a keeper

•Elbrus, the Binding Blade  Flip might be from the viewpoint of the dying guy

•Exquisite Blood probably a severed arm, even if not it doesn’t look like the view could be from whoever the arm belongs to.

I have replaced Boon Reflection with Bloodthirsty Conqueror, since its is good to finally have a creature version of Exquisite Blood; it is unfortunate to have one fewer card that doubles the amount of life than I can gain, but I still have both Rhox Faithmender and Alhammarret's Archive, which is strictly better than the enchantment, in this deck, and I did upset the balance of colors in this deck, with that replacement, but only in a very minor way, thankfully.

New Elenda seems like a lot of fun. Voltron/Lifegain seems like a fun mix that can also build you a decent buffer to crack backs, even without some of the other bells and whistles, or Exquisite Blood/Sanguine Bond shenanigans.

One of my friends in my main group recently started adding more lifegain to his decks as a means of buffering against the group slug and aggro heavy shenanigans of our group. So in turn, the rest of us added to existing decks or built The Lord of Painfoil lol. Playing with Lord of Pain in the 99, and against it this past weekend were a blast.

Totally understandable! Big life moves take priority over hobby stuff until you're both more settled in. Doesn't hurt to keep getting test reps in until you think you could put it together.

Baron777,

I run a wide array of decks at varying levels of strength or competitiveness. Every game I start I ask these 3 questions:

  1. What's your mana base? I only care if my opponent has Fetchlands or ABUR Duals or something like that. That will inform me of their budget at least

  2. What're your strongest/most expensive cards? I'm looking for any of the usual suspects of expensive staples like Sylvan Library, Exquisite Blood, Smothering Tithe, Deflecting Swat or Rhystic Study. The inclusion of any tutors and of course land destruction will definitely inform me of the strength of the opponent's deck.

  3. What are your deck's themes? I proudly run an Infect deck, as well as Slivers. There are many players I've encountered who absolutely do not want to see the wonders those decks have to offer. Simply knowing that a player's deck is Mono-blue control, or Stax is enough.

Magic and especially Commander is a social game. Interaction isn't just in the form of an Instant or Sorcery - agreeing on an expected experience together at the table is always the first step.

Now that WotC has finally printed a creature version of Exquisite Blood, I simply must put that card into this deck, but what card should I remove to make room, for it?

DemonDragonJ on How Can I Put Bloodthirsty …

WotC shall finally be printing a creature version of Exquisite Blood in foundations, in the form of bloodthirsty conqueror, and I obviously shall be putting that card into my Liesa, Shroud of Dusk deck, but I am not certain what card it should replace, so I wish to ask for advice from the other users here, about that matter.

It would be nice to have redundancy with Exquisite Blood, so I could replace Defiant Bloodlord with the conqueror, as I would still have plenty of cards that replicate the effect of Sanguine Bond, and doing that would also lower the mana curve of that deck, but, on the other hand, the bloodlord is a very nice flying beater, which I can also give lifelink, and Exquisite Blood costs 5 mana to cast, but does nothing on its own, so I also would have no difficulty in replacing it with its creature counterpart, as well, so it is a difficult decision, for me.

What does everyone else say about this subject? How can I put bloodthirsty conqueror into my Liesa deck?

Also, as a side note, why is it that bloodthirsty conqueror has the same mana value as Exquisite Blood, while Defiant Bloodlord is more expensive than is Sanguine Bond?

I have a Rakdos deck that's trying to do some similar things, I leaned into creatures that could double as removal, some games you can eliminate a player by resolving an early Dwarven Miner/Dwarven Blastminer, Tsabo Tavoc is a hilarious card in a Commander game, Olivia Voldarenfoil and Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief make very good use of late game mana and can create a whole mess of trouble, maybe War Cadence is a very political card I love to try to sneak into decks, the really sweet part is you can use it on an opponent's attack to help THEM get in, and an Archenemy is tapped out that means you only need to spend {1} to make everything unblockable... it's a real skill testing card IMHO. Rite of the Raging Storm can kill off any opponents that don't have blockers, and it survives most Wraths. It's also a sacrifice effect when it dies, so it works with Mayhem Devil without support. Even without it's combo I find Exquisite Blood can be an amazing card, it's hilarious with Protection Racket out! If you want things to get chaotic/people to have to make choices you might like some of the Dr. Who stuff, the only card I personally use is Ensnared by the Mara, which isn't too jarring IMHO, most people wouldn't realize it's Universes Beyond at a Glance IMHO. Humble Defector is a fun card even if you don't run ways to kill him off right after he changes hands, some players will agree to trade him back even! Din of the Fireherd and Fevered Suspicion are pretty chaotic effects, though some people will really get up in arms if you take away more than a couple lands! Speaking of taking a couple lands, Volcanic Offering is hilarious IMHO.

Rakdos isn't the ideal colours to make him pop but I still like Brash Taunter, he's also great with anything that gives him lifelink, but it's surprising value if you can resolve something like Scavenged Brawler on Taunter, it's worth noting that Brawler would also help turn Vial Smasher into a much better threat/life source.

Finally, have you thought about some auctions, maybe Thieves' Auction or Illicit Auction? 5 mana to maybe not get a creature isn't amazing, but in practice if you ever have the most life it's just 5 mana to steal whichever creature you want! Thieves' Auction is a good card if you have a lot of permanents that work just by being out (like symmetrical chaos effects), but it's also decent if you don't run an especially sturdy board (since you pick first!), I've had situations where nothing on my board was taken until everyone else's boards were taken, my cards were that bad! Such a great feeling to get value out of stuff like Thieves' Auction.

I like the idea of your list here, you might get a kick out of my Pavel the Mighty, Hero We Deserve list, it's a Chaos deck that overflows with pet cards!
