Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Nothing is sacred in the guild of Orzhov. Be prepared to give your life (multiple times) to prove your devotion.\n\n**Strategy:**\n\nThis deck's main strategy focuses on \"opponents lose life and you gain life\" effects such as [[Zulaport Cutthroat]]. Cast cheap creatures that you can keep bringing back, keep your hand full with [[Krav, the Unredeemed]] and keep yourself safe with small fodder creatures that you're more than happy to put in front of big creatures.\n\n**Wincons:**\n\nI'm not aware of any hard win conditions in this deck (by my own design,) however if that's what you're after you can always pick up [[Exquisite Blood]] and drop it into this list which easily combos with [[Sanguine Bond]], [[Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose]], and/or [[Marauding Blight-Priest]].\n\n[[Ashnod's Altar]] is a very strong combo piece if you are looking for that strong kill potential.\n"}]}
