1xThe Ozolith is always nice when lots of creatures can get counters.

With so much lifegain, something like Chalice of Life (Chalice of Death) or Aetherflux Reservoir seems like it would be a great push toward a lot of wins.

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.

My favorite budget Lifegain wincon is Wall of Limbs. Aetherflux Reservoir is too expensive and Chalice of Death  ^Flip is too inefficient.

Unfortunately, I think the Chalice of Life  ^Flip has the color identity because the Chalice of Death side has a color indicator, so wouldn't be legal in this deck.

Otherwise, I love the deck. Derevi is probably my favorite commander right now.

Not sure why it linked to that deck but Chalice of Death  ^Flip is a split card.

That's a good name! Straightforward yet elegant.

Maybe I'm not far enough away from teenager-ness, by my mind immediately went to possible puns. "The Brewery: Steaming Milk and Schemeing Mana since 2017" came to mind, but eh, it's a little clunky. Still not giving up on finding a coffee/MtG pun that doesn't involve Chalice of Death  ^Flip or Bogbrew Witch, though I think we should roll with Magic Lounge for the time being (:

I would say try to look at a Teysa, Orzhov Scion deck. It is a little more token/combo based instead of lifegain/drain, but they have a good amount of W/B cards that can go into any W/B deck.

One card I can say (depending on preference and what your playgroup allows) is Exquisite Blood . With sanguine bond, you immediately win through a loop. All you need is one life gain or an opponent to lose life.

Also, depending on your win preferences, you can run Serra Ascendant or Chalice of Life  ^Flip and its flip side Chalice of Death or even Felidar Sovereign .

In general, extort is more of a "bonus" than a reliable win con. Life gain is meant to be annoying, and constant. Imagine dropping a Phyrexian Processor and making 30/30's every turn, giving them lifelink, then repeating. Sound gross?

This deck has several win conditions in mind.1) Felidar Sovereign with enough life2) Aetherflux Resevoir for direct damage3) Chalice of Death  ^Flip for direct damage, especially earlier in the game4) Deal damage with creatures when possible, generally with some angels from Luminarch Ascension, Ajani's Pridemate and other creatures that can get buff.

This is not meant to be an aggressive deck but perhaps it can afford to. Any suggestions on the deck?
