Deck overview

This is a midrange Orzhov Bats tribal deck helmed by Zoraline, Cosmos Caller, built around lifegain and drain synergies. The primary game plan is to deploy a swarm of Bat tokens, gain life from attacks and triggers, then convert that life into direct damage via cards like Sanguine Bond, Mirkwood Bats, and Starscape Cleric. Zoraline, Cosmos Caller provides repeatable recursion for cheap permanents (mana value 3 or less) and a steady life-gain engine, while secondary win conditions include a large Exsanguinate or overwhelming combat damage with anthems. The deck lacks fast combos and relies on incremental value and gradual pressure to close out games.
