The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.

Deck discussion for LifeBlood

A very good build and quite unique.
So lets start with the basics a deck is effective if it is made up of around 60 cards. So you might need to get ris of a few creatures like Ghost-Lit Redeemer and the Moneychanger (he's too old and should be left in retirement).

Then there is the question of whether you want the deck to be standard format or extended. I would personally suggest you go for standard so that you can play the deck in tournaments, if you are going for this you need to remove a lot of cards and replace them with better ones.

Reply to me on your post if you want so and I'll see how to tailor it to your desire.

Standard here we come... To begin you must know that there are only a few sets in standard and these change with every new set that comes out. Right now we have MG2011 and Elderazi block being stable whilst MG2010 and the Alara block soon going out.

So since you wanted standard lets start removing the cards which don't fit in, now don't get frightened by this list:

Dark ritual, Hallow, both strengths (for now), Contemplation, Boon refltection, Spirit link, Wall of hope, Martyr of Sands and Nip Gwyllion.

All these mentioned cards are not standard and therefore need to go.

This leaves your deck pretty much empty but don't worry we'll fill it up with some better ones. ;-)

Goldenglow Moth, Blood thite, Corrupt, Eland Umbra, Emerge Unscathed, Luminous Wake, Soul's attendant, Survival Cache, Perimeter Captain, Rest for the weary and Landbind Ritual.

Now your basic idea is to get Sanguine Bond out as fast as you can so you need ample lands in the first few turns and possibly tutor in hand. So you need the 4 tutors and at least 2 bonds in your deck.

As a basic strategy you want a way to gain life by any means possible so the following combo should help:

Goldenglow moth + Eland Umbra + Luminous Wake to have a pretty solid blocker.
Soul's Attendant + Perimeter Captain are there for you to gain the extra life along the way.

So you should finally have a deck that looks like this:

4 Pridemates
2 Vampire Nighthawk
2 Child of Night
3 Moths
4 Attendants
3 Captains

4 Umbras
3 Bonds
4 Luminous Wake

2 Blood thite
3 Emerge Unscathed
4 Rest for the weary
2 Landbind Ritual
4 Tutors

10 swamps
12 plains

This should give you a deck of around 64 cards standard and playable.
As regards sideboard I'll try to work on one for you in the future.

Btw be sure that when you post a deck that is ready you change the status of Wrok in Progress to Finished so that is shows up on the home page for others to see and comment.

Hope I have been of help.
