This deck is my pride and joy and is a semi-competitive deck.

Obviously there is tons of life gain, but it's also got more than just a splash of control. I also run a few win condition combos. This deck is specifically set up for multiplayer.

Lots of fun to play, pretty fast, and brings the hate. A lot of opponents underestimate Karlov's ability and just how much my life and counters to exile creatures ramp up. This is the kind of deck opponent's remember when you bring it out after their first encounter.

Infinite combos: Exquisite Blood/Vizkopa Guildmage + Sanguine Bond/Epicure of Blood/Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose = infinite life drain/gain

Other win conditions: Felidar Sovereign, Test of Endurance, & Aetherflux Reservoir
