Sorin assembles his bloodline and the demon that has been notorious for destroying all in his path, making his home plain desolate then igniting his spark and wreaks havoc on the planes ripping the life of others to gain more and more power. The vampires and demons are ruthless and don't stop until they have become the most powerful beings on the plane.

The point in this control deck is to gain life with my creatures and control the opponent's board.

Indulgent Aristocrat and Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet gain you life through lifelink and feeding zombies into Kalitas after removing the creatures the opponent controls through my various kill spells. Indulgent Aristocrat also allows you to sacrifice a creature to make all the vampires on the field to receive a +1/+1 counter.

Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim can sacrifice creatures for and gaining life based off of the toughness of that creature. Doing this puts me closer to being able to sacrifice some of the zombies spawned by Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet for .

Cliffhaven Vampire and Drana's Emissary are a good combo with one another and Cliffhaven Vampire capitalizes off of the Ondu Rising lifelink ability when all my creatures allow me to deal an extra point of damage for each lifelink creature that deals damage.

Ondu Rising paired with Shambling Vent gives all creatures lifelink and if I awaken Shambling Vent I can pay to make the land a 6/7 lifelink.

Dazzling Reflection can stop incoming damage and allow me to block with Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim to deathouch destroy the creature, spawning more zombie creature tokens and gaining the life of the attacking creature's power.

Ob Nixilis Reignited is a turn five planeswalker that allows me to continue to draw cards and dish out creature destruction with a -8 that is a devastating combination when paired with Ob Nixilis Reignited, Read the Bones, or Sorin, Grim Nemesis.

Sorin, Grim Nemesis is a finishing planeswalker that allows me to draw more spells, burn the opponent, and gain life off of the -X ability.

The kill spells in the deck are suitable for destroying an abundance of creatures. Grasp of Darkness is good at removing multiple lower toughness creatures in a turn while Murder is good at removing the stronger creatures later on in the game. Anguished Unmaking is primarily used against planeswalkers, enchantments, and artifacts but is also good spot removal for indestructible strong creatures that emerge later on in the game. Ob Nixilis Reignited has a minus ability that destroys creatures and Sorin, Grim Nemesis destroys creatures of 6 or less toughness and gains as many life as you use to deal damage to that creature.

The sideboard of the deck has answers to an abundance of different decks. Languish is a good answer to creature swarm decks, such as Bant company and GW tokens. Transgress the Mind and Duress are side boarded into the main deck to take care of decks that primarily don't run creatures such as Izzet Burn and Esper Control. Linvala, the Preserver is a side board card against decks that have many creatures that turn into larger ones later on in the game, such as Temurge right now in standard. Declaration in Stone is for a faster aggressive deck to take down the lower drops faster. Ruinous Path is side boarded for the decks that are primarily large creature decks and planeswalker decks, such as Esper Control that win late game with planeswalker abilities and strong creatures that Languish and Grasp of Darkness can't destroy.
