This deck is basically a twist on two different concepts. When originally looking at Kambal I thought I could strictly use him for a life gain/drain deck, but that hit a dead end. The other day I was looking at a taxes deck and it occured to me that Kambal's ability is a tax type ability. Then I realized you can use both life gain/drain abilities but also could use cards that tax the opponent. The combination of the two ideas created a taxes deck that also drains life from the opponent.
