The Blood is The Life by AtrumUnum

Format: Commander

Commander: Sorin of House Markov // Sorin, Ravenous Neonate

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a black-white vampire lifegain deck that uses life total as both resource and weapon. Sorin of House Markov is an early extort/lifelink attacker that flips into a Food/drain planeswalker; Sorin, Ravenous Neonate is the face the deck ultimately wants, but the deck can win without him. The primary plan is to assemble a life-gain/life-loss loop: Sanguine Bond or Vito with Exquisite Blood or Bloodthirsty Conqueror, then trigger it with any lifegain. Sorin Markov and Bloodletter of Aclazotz form a faster one-shot, while Exsanguinate, Debt to the Deathless, and a wide Vampire board are backup finishes.
