No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

The idea is to extort/vampire gain-loss to win. Liliana and Crypt Ghast make your swamps produce a lot more mana, essentially allowing to actually pay for the flashback costs of some of the spells, as well as the extort.

Cast those token generating spells, and get a Pontiff of Blight out, then cast a low cost spell to extort for a lot (maybe keep a lingering souls in the graveyard to flashback?). Increasing Ambition is there to help you get either army of the damned/crypt ghast/pontiff of blight into your hand (whatever it is you need to complete the combo).

If Blood Artist/Falkenrath Noble is out, don't be afraid to chump block with all your tokens whenever your opponent attacks - all those deaths will effectively reduce your opponent's life without you having to attack (all the while adding to your own slightly).

Have any suggestions, please leave a comment.
