Deck Description

Standard legality, built with cards from the block(s): Battle for Zendikar (Battle for Zendikar, ) and Fate Reforged

The concept sure isn't new but I simply wanted to built my own standard legal lifeleech deck, so here it is. I think I will have to adjust the mana-curve a little bit but can only be determined by some testgames.

Price before adding special lands: 7,5$...WTF

This deck exists only on this site and has never been played against another deck. Regardless I'm open to all suggestions and ideas that may help to improve this deck.

How to Play

Well the concept isn't new but Battle for Zendikar gave some new and interesting cards. The strategy behind it is to stay alive with lifeleech/ lifegain until creatures like "Bloodbond Vampire" or "Kalastria Nightwatch" kill your opponent or "Drana's Emissary" sucks them blood dry.
"Stone Haven Medic" helps to gain life periodicaly while "Serene Steward" strengthens your creatures a little bit.
You're better of with quantity lifegain rather than quality, that means that 1+1+1 > 3. This is simply because most cards here activate whenever you gain life and don't look on the quality of the life gained.
