Deck overview

This Golgari deck uses Dina, Soul Steeper to convert life gain into direct life loss for all opponents. The strategy begins by deploying Dina alongside cheap lifelink creatures and steady life-gain triggers such as Creeping Bloodsucker and Prosperous Innkeeper. In the midgame, the deck uses sacrifice draw spells like Deadly Dispute and Village Rites to churn through cards while triggering death drains from Zulaport Cutthroat and Lampad of Death's Vigil. High-impact enchantments such as Painful Quandary and Wound Reflection magnify the life loss, turning small lifegain increments into lethal damage. While the deck possesses efficient 1-mana protection spells to shield Dina from spot removal, its clock is vulnerable to board sweepers and it lacks answers for opposing artifacts and enchantments.
