This is a deck I made a while ago. It has done pretty well but I need to update it (preferably with THB) to keep it in standard. The main changes I'm looking for are to replace the Ravnica sets but I'm open to anything else that could help improve synergy and would love to hear feedback and suggestions for improvements. The main focus of the deck is to take full advantage of lifelink. Combining any number of the listed lifelink creatures with an Epicure of Blood, Sorin, Vengeful Bloodlord, and Ajani's Pridemate or Bloodthirsty Aerialist will give you (as i call it) a "life grain engine/ramp hybrid.... thing" that is an impossibly devastating combo to your opponents. It simultaneously drains your opponent's health pumps your own health and buffs the pridemates/aerialists, then with the sorin planeswalker, all your creatures have lifelink during your turn. The "engine" is reasonably easy to destroy but is even easier to set up and maintain because of the overall mana curve being extremely low. There are a couple other creatures and spell sprinkled in to boost the insanity even further and added a couple bombs and game ending cards (i.e bond of discipline) and added a couple chump blocks and basically filler. But seriously I've had to use a calculator a couple times because of how many triggers keep snowballing into each other.
