And on the first day, Ziat said let there be bolster.

Greetings,

Here's a deck based around the bolster mechanic and lifesteal. It's pretty straightforward. Most of the cards gain you life to trigger the bolster effect on cards like Young Protester and Dran, Won't Back Down. Let me point out a few quick things:

- I'm not really sure what to put in the market. Manacles serves a useful purpose, but you might put in something like Mystical Shackles if you wanted to remove a threat vs simply stunning 2 threats. The rest of the market is mainly focused on removal. I'm considering adding Reeve's Mandate and/or The Hall of Mayors.

- I'm not sure if you really need Dran for ramp. For now, I find him useful.

- Auren Condemnation fits the bolster theme of this deck really nicely. I feel like it's the best removal spell for this particular deck.

- Stormhalt Plating is the finisher. Plus it offers support for bolster if you draw it early. I feel like there is probably a better finisher out there, but I like this card for now.

- The power base probably needs to be tweaked. I'll test it more to see what I can see.

Anyways, I'll try not to ramble. This is a WIP and I'll probably be tweaking it a bit.

UPDATE: I made a few changes to the power base. I added a few sigils and added a couple of copies of Standard Inspection in place of vanquish. It seems to run a bit better.
