Description
Exquisite Blood — Lifegain Trigger Engine
Exquisite Blood is a compact kill condition for control and aristocrat style decks that want a reliable life link loop. The card reads simply and does exactly what it promises. Whenever an opponent loses life you gain that much life which converts damage, sacrifice triggers and life loss effects into steady incremental advantage. In multiplayer Commander games this single enchantment can turn combat damage and direct burn into a long game resource for you.
From a deckbuilding perspective this is best paired with repeatable sources of opponent life loss such as damage multipliers, tax and drain effects and creatures that force life exchanges. The card pairs particularly well with cards that say whenever a player loses life or with a companion card that causes you to cause life loss to opponents. Expect slow steady growth rather than an immediate win and plan your interaction to protect the enchantment once it becomes central to your strategy.
