Infinite life steal and massive instant life loss is the bread and butter of this deck. These are some combos you can use to pull this off.

• Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond is the classic infinite life steal
• You can also use Exquisite Blood + Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose for the same infinite life steal effect
• Tainted Remedy + Beacon of Immortality will double the targets life total, which because of Tainted Remedy will actually just make them lose their life total
• Sanguine Bond + Beacon of Immortality will make target lose YOUR life total

You can easily triple your life total.

• Alhammarret's Archive + Beacon of Immortality
• Boon Reflection + Beacon of Immortality.

If you pair these combos with Sanguine Bond or Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose, you can deal massive chunks of damage too.

Peer into the Abyss is a fantastic card for making players lose half their life, but paired with some other cards, can erase their life total all together.

• Peer into the Abyss paired with Wound Reflection, Underworld Dreams, or Sheoldred, the Apocalypse will double the damage taken by Peer into the Abyss

You can also use Peer into the Abyss + Sheoldred, the Apocalypse on yourself if your life is getting low or you are in need of a ton of cards. Works very well with Venser's Journal

Aetherflux Reservoir can be a massive cannon used to deal massive damage if you have the right ammunition (life). You can make this cannon stronger however

• Aetherflux Reservoir + Exquisite Blood will allow you to gain back the life you use to activate Aetherflux Reservoir instantly, being able to use it multiple times.
• Aetherflux Reservoir + Tainted Sigil is an alternative to the combo above, only allowing you to recuperate your life once
• Aetherflux Reservoir + Wound Reflection will hit for massive damage, and then doubling it to 100 damage, almost assuring that your opponent will succumb to the damage

A good, rapid wincon is with Approach of the Second Sun

• Approach of the Second Sun + Ad NauseamGC. You use Ad NauseamGC to draw card to get back down to Approach of the Second Sun. Just make sure you have the health to pull this off
• Approach of the Second Sun + either Demonic TutorGC or Mystical TutorGC to get the card back in your hand fast so you can play it again and win.

If you are in need of being invincible, you can use Phyrexian Unlife + Solemnity. With this combo, you can be at zero life and still be alive. You will not receive any poison counters because of Solemnity. Just be weary of opponents destroying either of these cards. It would be wise to use your counterspells to keep these cards up while you regain the life you need.

If you somehow get into a pickle and want to be a thorn in the table's side. You can play Stasis + Smothering TitheGC This is will make it so players cannot untap any permanents, the only condition is that you must pay a {U} or sac Stasis. You can keep it on the board indefinably and soft-lock the game by demanding payment with Smothering TitheGC and when the players cant pay, use the treasure tokens to keep Stasis in.

There are plenty of different combos and synergies in this deck that allows for massive life gain, steal, and loss. Have fun!
