LIFE

The "LIFE" Commander deck is an Orzhov (white and black) lifegain/control deck built around the commander Selenia, Dark Angel. The deck's primary strategy focuses on gaining life and leveraging that life advantage to control the board and outlast opponents. Key synergies include life-drain effects from cards like Vizkopa Guildmage and Scholar of Athreos, which turn lifegain into a weapon against opponents. The deck features a strong removal suite with cards like Swords to Plowshares, Damnation, and Anguished Unmaking to maintain board control. It aims to win by maintaining a high life total while slowly draining opponents with incremental life loss effects and lifelink creatures like Vona, Butcher of Magan and Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet. The inclusion of utility lands like Vault of the Archangel and powerful enchantments such as Purgatory enhance the deck's resilience and ability to stabilize and dominate the late game.
