Deck Description

This is a life gain deck using extort and some common life gain cards.

How to Play

This deck is mainly about exploiting the combination of Vizkopa Guildmage and Cathedral Sanctifier. Using Vizkopa Guildmage ablity + Cathedral Sanctifier on average will deal about 9 damage to all opponents in this deck which is huge for a 4 mana combo if out already or to cast it all 7 which isn't to bad still. Also there are some other good combo listed down below:

Yawgmoth's Bargain + Tainted Sigil use yawgmoth bargain as much as u like then use tainted sigil so you can have free draw.

Ajani's Pridemate + any life gain card makes a big beat stick to fast other big beat sticks

Cradle of Vitality to make some huge creatures in group games or okay descent creatures in heads up play.

Elixir of Immortality is in here to coutner mil and to get combos out again in long games. Also it is good with yawgmoth's ability making me able to draw big hands use alot of card in put them back into my library.

Yawgmoth's Bargain + Tainted Sigil + Vizkopa Guildmage + Cathedral Sanctifier + Rhox Faithmender this is the most idea combo to have here. It can do with 8 mana an amazing amount of damage.

What is the point of yawgmoths bargain? Put in exquisite blood instead
Also, blood baron of vizkopa and celestial mantle would be great in here

Mainly don't want to spend the money on blood baron of vizkopa and celestial mantle I don't own those cards. Yawgmoths bargain is a great draw card even if I can only have one in the deck. I don't like infinite combos so I didn't add exquisite blood.

whats the point of Yawgmoth's Bargain? are you kidding? theres a reason that card is banned in EDH AND Legacy...basically, he skips his draw step. sadface. then he plays a spell, extorts it twice, and uses that life to draw 2 cards. that card is BROKEN.

^^^ With how much life gain is possible in this deck since it is meant for my friends 6+ group matches I can draw for a life time easy. But also I will be the target of 6 people using this deck lol.

Yeah I know thank you for that I wasn't meaning anything negative in any way. I was just letting you know me decisions on my deck. I didn't think about celestial at all though even though it is an amazing card.
