Deck Description

Infinite Life-Loss/Life-Gain Loop!

How to Play

Essentially, use the life-gain creatures (and cremate/sign in blood to draw) to stave off your opponent until you get sanguine bond AND exquisite blood on the board. Even getting sanguine bond OR exquisite blood on the board starts to hurt your opponent. After getting both on the board, any life loss your opponent incurs, or any life gain you get, starts the infinite loop of "you gain X life, which causes your opponent to lose X life, which causes you to gain X life, which.." you get the idea. Fun deck to play!

Thanks guys. I first tried a Sanguine Bond deck back when M11 was legal, but it never panned out very well. Now that Exquisite Blood is out, this is definitely a fun Vintage deck. The only problem with it is you're really depending on 8 cards out of 60. Another version I had included 4 diabolic tutors, but I felt that the sheer amount of lifelink provided by black creatures sets you up for a mid-game win.

You are one card from being standard, why Vault Skirge? Plus this will never survive without some sort of mana rama or removal. Since you are playing black I would suggest anything from Ultimate Price, Murder, and Mutilate. I would probably look at two or more types to keep others at bay till this can go off. Go with 3 Tormented Soul/Vampire Nighthawk/Daggerdome Imp and put in Dutybound Dead and Knight of Infamy for the Exalted. Then you might want to think about bumping up your mana to 23-24 and may want to include a couple of Cathedral of War.

The deck is actually a couple cards from being standard; Vault Skirge, like you said, and Sanguine Bond, the other half of the infinite combo. I have thought repeatedly about removal, so I'll probably add Go for the Throat and Doom Blade, though Mutilate was in the original deck design, back when it was more concentrated on removal and less on lifelink/life loss. I think Mutilate in the sideboard and removal instead of 4 Blood Reckonings would be a better fit for the deck.

2 Doom Blade and 2 Go for the Throat added, reduced Blood Reckoning to 2, reduced Daggerdrome Imp and Vault Skirge to 3.

Why bother with all this when you could just transplant one of the bonds for the new Orzof Guildmage ability?
