Bilbo Life Gain

Bilbo Life Gain is an Abzan (white-black-green) Commander lifegain/value deck built around Bilbo, Birthday Celebrant and a dense package of cards that reward you for repeatedly gaining life.

Its main plan is to gain life in small and large increments through cards like Soul Warden, Essence Warden, Authority of the Consuls, Trostani, and Kambal, then convert that life gain into board growth and pressure with payoffs such as Ajani’s Pridemate, Voice of the Blessed, Trelasarra, Archangel of Thune, Lathiel, and Nykthos Paragon. The deck also has strong life-drain synergies, using Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose, Dina, Soul Steeper, Sanguine Bond, Defiant Bloodlord, Blood Artist, and Vizkopa Guildmage to turn life gain into direct damage.

It can win by:

• Building a large lifegain-fueled board and attacking
• Draining opponents out with Vito/Sanguine Bond-style effects
• Alternate win conditions like **Felidar Sovere
