Deck Description

This deck was created out of the limited cards that I own, and is for certain a budget deck. It is pretty easily countered by any prolific player, but against players just starting, I've found it quite successful and powerful. While playing in team play against players of varying levels I've found this very powerful due to Gray Merchants hitting all players. If Exquisite Blood is out at this time, Gray Merchants, while the damage they do is potentially smaller, the life gain I receive is debilitating to other players.

How to Play

The goal is to build devotion, while allowing the enemy to deal damage to you, and drop Gray Merchant of Asphodel for decent damage and life gain. Deathtouch 1 drops in order to help keep enemy creatures at bay while this midgame deck can get what it needs. The backup plan is to combo Essence Harvest off of Squelching Leeches or Blood Bairn (post sacrificing my board).
