Deck Description

"Exquisite Taint" is about aggressive life gain & drain.

Originally inspired by Tainted Love by ShackledAngel:

How to Play

So the idea here is pretty simple - you want to aggressively gain life (with Soul Wardens and instants) until you can drop Tainted Blood, and then start turning any life-gain cards against your opponent for direct damage.

A bit later you can start to use Vizkopa Guildmage and Exquisite Blood to start doing both (gain & drain) with your instants.

Top that off with a high-drop (Gold Myrs and Gilded Lotuses) Debt to the Deathless (hopefully with Rhox Faithmender out) for a big finish. Or just bleed'em.

This deck has really just started to come together. I'm not sure how well it holds up, but I'm definitely looking for cool suggestions (note, I'm on-and-off with Sanguin Bond -- I play with groups usually, so the "target opponent" piece is kind of limiting. Thoughts?).
