These cannibals on a juice diet are here to suck blood, leaving opponents weak and pathetic while you post the big gains!

Wincons:

1. Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose + Exquisite Blood - You only need to gain 1 life for an instant win as long as no opponents have a way to respond at instant speed.
   - You can replace Vito with any other card in the deck that deals damage with life gain.
   - You have multiple tutors to fish out Exquisite Blood
2. Kicked Scourge of the Skyclaves + Wound Reflection for an instant kill to all opponents at end step unless they can gain additional life or prevent the Wound Reflection effect.
3. If you can't get the instant win, you can use the ample life gain to stay alive while you wear opponents down by pinging them with Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose and similar effects.
4. Aetherflux Resvoir: Getting to 50 life shouldn't be too hard; then you can start sniping opponents with Resevoir's activated ability.
5. Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose + Blood Tribute . Vito is a vampire so you can easily kick Tribute to instant kill one opponent. This will work with any other vampire / damage for life gain pair as well. This can be a great way to end a 1v1 game or finish off the last opponent.
