The idea here is to stay ahead of your opponents in terms of life, by using Wall of Hope and Lifelink on your attacking creatures. Then use Pestilence to kill small enemy creatures and potentially win. Wall of Resistance is nice because every time you use Pestilence and it does not die, it will be bigger next turn. Wall of Hope is nice for a similar reason, but it will give you life. Try to make sure that your walls are damaged every turn, also during the turns of your opponents. If need be, even use Cuombajj Witches on your own walls to gain life or make them bigger. The fact that an opponent can then pick a target for 1 damage is not so bad because most of your creatures are either too big to be killed by the witches or have protection from black. Lifelink on Cuombajj Witches will make for an interesting choice too.

If you need cards or still have not gotten a Pestilence on the battlefield, cycle Disciple of Grace , transmute Dimir House Guard or use Read the Bones / Sign in Blood.

Wall of Hope or Cuombajj Witches are the targets for Divine Favor , Chosen by Heliod or Slagwurm Armor so they may survive bigger Pestilence.
