Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"\tShilgengar, in his search for more power, has looked to a source that is much smaller than he thought, bats. So he made a trip to Bloomburrow to demand assistance. While all the animals were freaked out, as one would be when an eldritch horror suddenly appears for no good reason, he was able to forge an alliance with Zoraline and the bat tribe. He also was able to get the blessing of Aclazotz for a temporary home for the bats.\n\nThis deck utilizes bats for many purposes. Some cases include sacrifices for Shilgengar and as life gain. The deck is mostly a life gain deck with some minor sacrifice and artifact synergies. Filling the graveyard will eventually reward the player with vampire bats, which I was surprised to find there were none of. Playing big life payoffs such as Sorin of House Markov, Sanguine Bond, and Test of Endurance. It also allows for usage of that life for cards like Black Market Connections (more bats). The blood can fill the graveyard with bats and allows for more cards (and who doesn't like more cards). There are also cards that make bat tokens so you don't have to worry about sacrificing your main bats. This is also a pretty good deck for teaching people how life is a resource through the two game changers in the list, Ad Nauseam and Bolas's Citadel\n\nP.S. If anyone at Wizards sees this decklist, PLEASE add Vampire Bats to Magic. They would be so cool and would work in an Innistrad or Ixilan set. Thanks in advance\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Shilgengar, Sire of Famine"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Zoraline, Cosmos Caller"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Aclazotz, Deepest Betrayal // Temple of the Dead"}},{"insert":" \n"}]}
