Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose

Vito is a life drain engine that punishes your opponents for every point of life you gain. The core gameplan is simple: play cards that generate life gain, watch Vito turn that into damage for your opponents. You're essentially playing a lifegain deck that doubles as a burn deck, which is sneaky efficient—your creatures become mini Lightning Bolts every time they hit or you cast a gain-life spell. The activated ability gives you a way to push through more damage by turning your creatures into pseudo-damage dealers on a single turn.

Your win condition is attrition: chip away at opponents through repeated life gain triggers until they're all in the danger zone, then finish them with a big lifelink turn or a final payoff spell. This works especially well in multiplayer since Vito's damage stacks across the table. You're not trying to be the fastest deck—you're the slowest, most annoying deck that inevitably wins because your opponents can't keep up with the life total shenanigans.
