Deck Description

Focus on dealing damage through "loss of life" effects, and staying alive through "life tap" effects ("target loses X life and you gain X life"). Loss of life can't be prevented in the usual ways, and many cards here multiply in effectiveness when in group games.

How to Play

Get Blood Artist and other "things happen on creature death" cards out, then creatively sacrifice creatures.

Butcher Ghoul can be sac'd twice, and Driver of the Dead can bring it back for two more. Sac them to spawning pit, and every other sac (plus 1 colorless) gets you another creature to sac. Use Attrition to sac them with, and you're removing your opponents creatures at the same speed - or 3x faster if you have Butcher of Malakir out. Use Rite of Consumption on a Mortis Dog that has just attacked, or better yet buff up a Wall of Blood for a fatal blow. Reiver Demon and Massacre Wurm provide some board wipe (with the life-loss effects proc'ing for everything that died), and even more loss (and your gain) with Bloodchief Ascension out. Finally, a Blood Tribute with Wound Reflection out wins in one stroke, while Sanguine Bond + Exquisite Blood wins as soon as anyone takes any damage.
