Deck Description

My halloween decks are here!
This a strange orzhov lifedrain deck. It tries to mass lifelinkers and pump them so the difference between the lifetotals can be easily seen.

Shit worth of talking about:
Voracious Hatchling: EASY TO KILL, i know but if they don't kill it in 1 turn they face a 5/5 or a 6/6 lifelinker swinging at them turn 5. The creature is great, even if it dies that's just one more Obzedat or Nighthawk that lives.

Glorious Anthem and Marshal's Anthem: 1/1 lifelinkers are now SUPER GOOD, Vampire Nighthawk is amazing and dodges bolts, Blind Hunter kills or trades with most aggro creatures, Voracious Hatchling is out of limits and Sin Collector is a
complety diferent dude. Also you can get your lost dudes back. . .

Blind Hunter: DA LIFE SWING. drain 4 4 and swing or block, great common card.

How to Play

Swing, it gives you life, you can shift between midrange grindy orzhov and unraceable aggro deck.

Vs aggro just sb in Souls of the Faultless and Hissing Miasma and you win, right there.

Vs mid: Vampire Nighthawk is king, it trades with anything, Marshal's Anthem and Obzedat, Ghost Council will win the game while Nighthawk and removal keep their dudes dead or a bay.

You need to rush control with dudes, anthems and Sin Collectors.

In a lifegain or lifedrain mirror you want Edge of the Divinity, that card makes them use removal on defenders. . .

My budget decks are supposed to let you have fun! Which is what i think MtG should be about, i try to make these decks as competitive as possible while still leting you to have a blast while playing them. If you can make your friends to spend around 50$ you could buy 2-4(some of my decks are under 10$) of my decks and make the experience even richer! Also don't just copy the whole deck(you can, but if you can improve something DO IT!), if you have a better idea pls let me know, i can't always make the perfect deck and sideboard. Again GL and HF!

This is more or less how I'd build this deck:

Maybe you could get a few ideas from it?

i looked at your deck and i already made few decks like that and i will make few more in the future. My deck tries to play as many small dudes and anthem them. The main difference is that my deck is more passive while being more aggressive. And that's what i wanted, a good consistent shell of small dudes backed up with some hand distrubtion and removal.
PS: sorry that there is no description or htp, i've been REALLY busy lately.
