Deck overview

This Orzhov lifegain-and-drain deck is helmed by Obzedat, Ghost Council, a repeatable source of life loss and life gain that exiles itself each turn to dodge removal. The primary game plan is to establish a board of creatures and enchantments that trigger on life gain-Epicure of Blood, Marauding Blight-Priest, Vindictive Vampire-and drain the table incrementally while gaining life to fuel recursion engines like Rodolf Duskbringer and Spirit-Sister's Call. The deck also packs a modest recursion suite, a handful of board wipes, and a finisher in Exsanguinate. It wins through attrition rather than explosive combos, grinding out opponents over many turns.
