Deck Description

This deck is all about big life point swings and abusing lifelink to the fullest extent.

How to Play

Each creature in the main deck has lifelink (including Obzedat, in his own special way..).

Blood Baron of Vizkopa relies on you gaining a bunch of life before he comes out, so he can be a 10/10 flyer...with lifelink!

Archangel of Thune will trigger each and every time you gain life, meaning for each creature that attacks or blocks, each time you use extort, and each time Obzedat comes in.

Sanguine Bond is insane when your entire deck is devoted to gaining life. And it stacks.

Debt to the Deathless can be thrown down for a huge lifepoint swing with Nykthos on the table. If you can pay just 10 (easy with Nykthos), your opponent is losing 12 and you're gaining it (triggering Archangel of Thune and Sanguine Bond).

Deck discussion for Orzhov Lifelink (Standard)

I feel like you have overkill on the things you shouldn't have overkill of. I don't think Obzedat is a nice 4 of and Archangel could lose a copy of itself. When you have white along with black, there is a better card than Insatiable Harpy. There is Kingpin's Pet, a creature with a converted mana-cost of 3 and has flying AND extort, which could really help out your deck. Also on the topic of Orzhov, you could try Blind Obedience to stall and gain life which will be incredibly useful for your deck. Overall, it's decent. Maybe Whip of Erebos will assist.

I agree with you on pretty much everything you said, actually. I built this a few months ago, a couple months after I started playing, so it's not very good. Thanks!

Your welcome! also I just noticed that the shrine you have should also not be a 4 of. Merry Christmas Eve Eve!
