Orzhov Lifegain Deck

This is an Orzhov (white-black) lifegain/aristocrats Commander deck built to generate constant life from “Soul Sisters” effects, then convert that life gain into damage, value, and combo kills. It plays a resilient midrange-control game with efficient removal, sweepers, and strong hatebears while building incremental advantage through cards like Karlov of the Ghost Council, Dawn of Hope, Well of Lost Dreams, Necropotence, and Bolas’s Citadel.

Its main synergies revolve around repeated life gain from creatures entering the battlefield and opponents’ creatures entering tapped, powering payoffs like Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose, Sanguine Bond, Marauding Blight-Priest, Karlov, and Aetherflux Reservoir. The deck can win through steady drain from Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, Cruel Celebrant, and Bastion of Remembrance, by making giant threats like Serra Ascendant/Speaker of the Heavens, or via infinite combo with Exquisite Blood plus Vito or Sanguine Bond, and Heliod, Sun-Crowned plus Walking Ballista.
