This $50 (ish) budget edh Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose deck centers around gaining life in several ways then using it as a resource by paying the life to do other things.

I'm open to suggestions, but only as long as they are also budget (about $2 maximum per card).

Cool things:

-Some of the win cons here are pretty much to sac high toughness creatures like Minion of the Wastes with something like Disciple of Griselbrand, gaining huge sums of life and therefore draining our opponent's balls hard.

-For example, since lot's of sac outlets in this deck make it so you gain life equal to the sacrificed creature's toughness that makes for ridiculous instant win plays like Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose mixed with Wall of Blood and Essence Harvest (go down to 2 health from 40 with the wall, then sac the wall to get 40 health, then drain 2 opponents' balls down to 0).

-Something else cool you can do is go down to nearly 0 life with either Mischievous Poltergeist or the wall, then exchange life totals with Soul Conduit. With Vito in play this will put TWO opponents really low in no time at all.

-Life loss is also pretty important here. Vilis, Broker of Blood is an all star in this deck, since we can lose life on demand in this deck. For example, with Vilis out we can draw cards at instant speed with either Wall of Blood or Mischievous Poltergeist.

-I am aware of the combo with Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose and Blood Tribute, however I am not adding it into this deck as I see that one card combo thing as pretty cheap and a bit too easy for my taste (tap six, I win). C'mon people if you want a powerful combo then abuse Wall of Blood, don't just "tap six, I win."
