Deck overview

This is an Orzhov Bat-tribal lifegain deck helmed by Zoraline, Cosmos Caller, built around a simple engine: gain life from Bat attacks and ETB triggers, then convert that life into opponent life loss through a dense suite of drain payoffs. The primary win condition is the Sanguine Bond + Exquisite Blood infinite loop, which turns any life gain into a repeating drain that ends the game. Backup plans include combat with Bats buffed by Moonstone Harbinger, Patchwork Banner, and Door of Destinies, plus devotion drain from Gray Merchant of Asphodel. Zoraline herself is a repeatable recursion engine, reanimating MV-3-or-less permanents on attack or entry, which lets the deck rebuy its key pieces turn after turn. The deck is a midrange value pile that grinds advantage through lifegain and recursion before closing with the combo.
