A few more updates! —July 16, 2016

Nothing much to note here, just removing a few cards while adding a few different pieces in.

However, if one has been keen to observe, the pieces for this deck (as well as magic cards as a whole) have been slowly rising in cost. I'm trying my best to counteract this, but there may have to be a period of update hiatus if we reach a point in which the deck starts to implode on itself due to too many cuts.

For the moment, though, I believe we are fine.

Awesome deck! May I suggest Defiant Bloodlord as an additionnal Sanguine Bond? (Or maybe a replacement if Bond ever gets over budget)

Xadroy - Rest assured, I have my finger placed firmly on the trigger (with a copy in hand) if the time comes!

This is Gorgeous. I've had a Selenia, Dark Angel in my binder for a long time, and I just like her.

Deck? $20. Finding a viable non-jank way to use Selenia, Dark Angel? Priceless.

a Cliffhaven Vampire could be beneficial in here too, just for that little bit of extra life loss. I love the mechanics in this deck!

The Deck workes great. But i lost vs a Purphoros, God of the Forge EDH Deck because of his fast way to deal Commander DMG.

I was thinking Vampire Nighthawk or maybe Alms Beast?

frogNorWOOT, just so ya know buddy, Commander damage is based on combat, nothing else. Don't let the people in your area lie to you so they can cheat and win.

@ Nickosis +1, it's one of the most common misconceptions. Commanders must do COMBAT damage for the commander damage win.

AvacynAngelofHope - It's currently being tested. I believe it's actually pretty awesome given that it clears out that "How do I get my opponents to lose 1 life now?" issue.

Atony1400 - Hard to say how they'd work with this particular route as most of this deck is geared towards reaching the 'combo' no matter what, so anything not directly tied into it can slow down how it functions (at least, in my experience.) I'd say add them to your version and see how they end up playing, I'd love to hear the feedback!

Nickosis - Thanks for taking the time to give the heads up on that. Very important to note that!

This deck is pretty sweet though. Would either of the Crovaxs be helpful? I know there are three, but I know one is unhelpful.

No problem frogNorWOOT, when Commander first came out it was a huge misconception for people. But Porphy is just solid as can be as a general.

I recently started on this website and decided to start playing EDH. I saw this and I have to say, this is awesome, I'm currently building this myself.

Maybe Erebos, God of the Dead for another constant draw-outlet and stopping your opponents' own life-gain strats? That's about all I can see. Would up the price a tad, but I don't think it should matter too much.

Otherwise, COOL!

Blood Celebrant seems nice. Love the deck.

Also if prices are changing and you need another card, Death Cultist and Orzhov Guildmage are cool

sorry for the spam but you need Phyrexian Processor

"Mirror Universe - The last card that can swap around life totals, but rather expensive. ($30-$40)."

Currently it's $0.3!

totally hyped for this deck arriving in the mail...great/cheap way to get into EDH as everyone at my LGS seems to be playing that format exclusively lol

Grand Abolisher & Necropotence are my two non-budget options but will also be buying an Exquisite Blood asap

Phyrexian Processor is the absolute bomb in this deck.

I am running this deck with Phyrexian Processor. It's awesome with Children of Korlis or Tainted Sigil.

I played Korlis on Turn 2, processor in turn 3. Payed almost all of my life points. Because making 19/19 tokens is so cool! It was but I had got a Stiffle on my Korlis =)

Still cool deck!
