Syr Konrad, the Grim for extra spice and value

Anowon, the Ruin Sage just to be that guy that forces the sacrifice to continue.

Whip of Erebos, Anowon, the Ruin Sage

Vampiric Link is cheap and you can even put it on an opponents creature

Balaam__, spot on with noticing Sorin and his -3, that's precisely why I like to play him for Anowon, the Ruin Sage.

Blood tokens could definitely be viable, I have a friend who plays one of the newer Innistrad(?) Vamp decks, they seem fun. I'll have to look into it. Your feedback is fantastic, thanks for conversating with me!

Ah, you’re right—I overlooked Anowon, the Ruin Sage and the mandatory sacrifice. You could argue that at 5 mana by the time it enters play Ayara’s job would be done, but yeah she’s probably not a good inclusion (particularly if Anowon is fielded using Sorin’s -3). I suppose the rest of the deck was engineered in a different direction from Ayara’s strengths, so better to play into it as you have.

Perhaps blood tokens may be something to look into? If I recall correctly we received a few vampire token producers in one of the more recent sets, and while the tokens themselves may be prone to removal the repeatable nature of that draw source can overshadow any downsides.

I've updated the deck again. I would like to add Martyr's Cause, Harvester of Souls, Pitiless Plunderer, and perhaps Anowon, the Ruin Sage and Chainer, Dementia Master. Suggestions on what to cut? I don't think I will add Imp's Mischief or Rebuff the Wicked. Not sure what I would cut for it. Removal perhaps? All of the scary spells that I would mostly worry about aren't targeted. Also, I may want to add more sacrifice outlets. Not sure what else I would add though.

Yoinked your decklist for an impromptu playtest round. swapped Anowon, the Ruin Sage with Twilight Prophet since we're playing Archnemesis Legacy as to not hinder my mates (each player effect -> Opponent effect)
