Deck Description

DISCLAIMER: Casual play with friends where deck size does not matter.

Felidar for game win on upkeep with 40 or more life.
Voracious Hatchlings, Nip Gwyllions, and Mourning Thrulls to be played with respect to lifelink effects to gather +1/+1 tokens from Cradle of Vitality.
Nightsky Mimics for a 4/4 flyer every time a B/W is played. To be played with respect to True Conviction so it has lifelink and hits twice allowing for even more Cradle of Vitality tokens.
Leylines for, what is essentially, shroud. Also to make sure cards can not be pulled from graveyards for control and resurrect decks, Call to Mind, Disentomb, Dread Return, etc.
Vensers Journal is thrown in for upkeep based lifegain to allow for more card draws and Cradle tokens. All of this adds to Cradle of Vitality tokens which should be used with Felidar in mind, in other words using them on lifelink cards, with True Conviction out all creatures have doublestrike and lifelink.
Every creature also receives a buff from Deathbringer Liege which can be used to control your opponents board by tapping and destroying their threatening creatures. Oblivion Rings are also for basic control options when an opponent plays a Planeswalker or other menacing legendary creature.

I would love some suggestions and any comments you have.

Current Price Estimate: $115

I played with the idea Teysa, I just didn't feel the sacrificial effect would lend depth to the deck. Also, I dont have spirit buff cards in this deck so the tokens would be almost useless unless used with the combo of True Conviction and then use their damage and lifelink to buff a stronger creature with Cradle of Vitality. I might side board her just to see how it would play out every so often. Also, I looked at your deck and it looks just like mine! Except yours came first. :P
I was going to add a few Godless Shrines but at the cost of life I felt the Orzhov Basilicas were a better bet.

I knew as soon as you found out about Felidar you'd want to use it. Jerk. :)
