Manipulate Life Totals and slowly win a war of attrition using your life total. This deck is the initial draft and is not currently tuned. Removal and recursion needs to be refined but I am currently playtesting and looking for suggestions to find what is underwhelming and should be removed to make space. This is a fairly casual deck that is just made to have some fun and pull off some silly wins.

Endgame: Felidar Sovereign, aetherflux resrevoir, Angel of Destiny or the combination of Vizkopa Guildmage, Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose, Defiant Bloodlord, or Sanguine Bond with Revival / Revenge or Beacon of Immortality.

Tokens Are Life: Angelic Accord, Griffin Aerie, Regal Bloodlord, and Speaker of the Heavens

Shrine Shenanigans: Honden of Cleansing Fire and Sanctum of Stone Fangs for more life, Honden of Seeing Winds and Sanctum of Calm Waters for draw, and Honden of Night's Reach because it's effect is decent and increases the other's abilities.

Ticking Up: Oloro, Ageless Ascetic, Aetherflux Reservoir, Drana's Emissary, Nyx-Fleece Ram, Sanctum of Stone Fangs, Soul Warden, Soul's Attendant, Suture Priest, Wall of Reverence, Kambal, Consul of Allocation

Ticking Down: Cliffhaven Vampire, Drana's Emissary, Indulging Patrician, Kambal, Consul of Allocation, Sanctum of Stone Fangs, Liesa, Shroud of Dusk, Marauding Blight-Priest, Suture Priest

Draw The Answers: Arch of Orazca, Bloodgift Demon, Blue Sun's Zenith, Dawn of Hope, Drogskol Reaver, Honden of Seeing Winds, Rhystic Study, Sanctum of Calm Waters, Underworld Connections, Oloro, Ageless Ascetic, Well of Lost Dreams. The Lockets and Hedron Archive can be sacrificed for cards if needed. Palace Siege and Witch of the Moors provide other card advantage.
