Deck overview

This is a mono-black life-drain combo deck helmed by Sheoldred, the Apocalypse. The primary plan is to force opponents to draw cards - via Sign in Blood, Blood Pact, Painful Lesson, Master of the Feast, and Howling Mine - while Sheoldred and Underworld Dreams punish every draw, then convert the resulting life swings into an infinite drain loop. The actual win condition lives entirely in the 99: any "gain life opponent loses life" piece (Sanguine Bond, Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose, Marauding Blight-Priest, Enduring Tenacity, Starscape Cleric) paired with any "opponent loses life you gain life" piece (Exquisite Blood, Bloodthirsty Conqueror) goes infinite. Secondary beats come from the 9x Nazgul army, Phyrexian Obliterator, and big-mana plays off Cabal Coffers, Crypt Ghast, and Nirkana Revenant.
