Veethevvitch Thank you so much!

Regarding Charismatic Conqueror -- Well, this is embarrassing, but it must have been a complete oversight on my part because there it is in my binder. Why didn't it make the cut? I have no idea! It will be corrected, though! Y'know what's funny? My buddy actually got the same deck, and I was playing against him and made a mental note about how I need to get that card lol. Little did I know, I had it all along, and somehow totally disregarded it. Not sure if I misread the card or got it mixed up with something else. Sorry to ramble, but it's genuinely making me feel a bit unhinged haha.

Regarding Heirloom Blade -- It's a great card. My card advantage was really suffering though, and I believe I actually decided to add Phyrexian Arena instead of this one. I wasn't sure if it would add enough value, and to be honest I have a few pet cards in here that are sub-optimal that I'd really hate to cut. My friend is actually running his deck with this card, and we're playing next week. I'll see how it works for him, but I do have some ideas of what I could cut to add it. It's definitely a great card, and right now it's sitting in my binder.

Regarding Edgar, Charmed Groom  Flip -- I actually did have that in here just a revision or two ago. Can't remember why I cut it. With a sac engine, it's a pretty dope token generator, which this deck loves. Hmmmm ... I think I should add him back.

You've been very helpful. Now back to the drawing board...

Hello, first of all nice vampire deck! :)

Second of all, I saw in the description that you got the lost carven of ixalan's vampire deck, so I was wondering why Charismatic Conqueror & Heirloom Blade didn't make the cut considering they are pretty low in mana cost and gives a decent boost/subtle control/tax ?

Also if you are in the mood for shopping new cards maybe you could consider Edgar, Charmed Groom  Flip since it's quite hard to get rid of (necessitates at least two removal spells from your opponents for complete removal) and gives a decent boost to all vampire on the one side and creates tokens on the other side.

Looking better, more trimmed. If you want to pursue the tokens method you could use more cards that create tokens, such as Edgar, Charmed Groom  Flip, Elenda, the Dusk Rose, Legion's Landing  Flip, Martyr of Dusk, Mavren Fein, Dusk Apostle and Queen's Commission. You will need creatures to support you earlier in the game, and Vampire of the Dire Moon, Gifted Aetherborn, Legion Lieutenant, Cordial Vampire and Indulgent Aristocrat are looking good for that role.

Keep upgrading!

pappy4eyes Thanks for the suggestion! It's funny you mention that because I was considering that for the Edgar, Charmed Groom  Flip slot as a one of.

Well, the vampire decks that do well in Pioneer typically have a small white splash for Edgar, Charmed Groom  Flip and sideboard options.

You don't need Sheoldred, she does nothing to synergize with vamps despite being a great card on her own.

I'd up the Zealots to at least 3, same for Champion. Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord is the reason to play Vampires, so he needs to be a 4-of.

Move Meathook Massacre to sideboard, get some more Fatal Push. You also could drop Vito.

Your deck is decent, you could pretty easily adapt this into the established meta for vamps. Whether you splash white is your call.

Looks like a very chill and classy vampire deck, but heads up Edgar, Charmed Groom  Flip is a white card and is illegal if you're using the standard rules for commander. If you've already talked to your playgroup about it then ignore me otherwise I'd highly recommend Anje, Maid of Dishonor for added blood token generation or Drana, Liberator of Malakir if you want to buff your field. Other than that I really like this. It's refreshing to see a vampire deck that isn't just the fifty billionth version of Edgar Markov.

I'm just commenting (even though it's a late comment) to say thank you for helping me realize I could add more infinite to my vampires and make everyone hate it.

Disrupt Decorum is a fun card to just force combat and keep yourself safe for a turn and clean-up right after. Olivia's Wrath is a good boardwipe provided you have enough vampires. Florian, Voldaren Scion has paid off for me to help search and just throw things out. Edgar, Charmed Groom  Flip is a good bit of value as well.

Hey, I'm not familiar with MTG Arena, but is it difficult to get 4x of a card? I ask because you're entire deck minus lands is 1x and 2x of cards which is not good for consistency. Playing 4x of a card means you'll have more chances to draw it in a game where as if all cards are 1x then you may never draw that card in a game.

The color pie shows you need an equal amount of black, red and white color sources and that's not really doable with a 15 basic land three color mana base. Some advice is play Rakdos Vampires and only splash white with dual lands as well as 4x Secluded Courtyard for a few cards? Other than the dual lands the rest of your deck is low budget because of this I'll give lower budget card suggestions.


When you play tribal you really want a reason to be in the tribe. For Vampires there's only two cards here that are tribal, Edgar, Charmed Groom  Flip and Vampires' Vengeance. Edgar is legendary meaning you can't have more than one of him in your control which sucks since he's a Vamp lord. Other than Edgar and Vengeance there's really no reason to be playing all Vamps and Vengeance is more of a sideboard card against aggro opponents then main deck.

4x Vampire Socialite can be a reason to play Vamps because being aggressive with Vamps then makes Vamps bigger when Socialite enters the battlefield or other Vamps after Socialite. Being aggressive with Vamps to take advantage of Socialite means playing more of one drop and two drop Vamps. Bloodtithe Harvester is 3/2 two drop making it a good attacker and Vamp to make bigger. Can also be creature removal if you need that.

Florian, Voldaren Scion has first strike as well as can be repeatable card advantage when you're aggressive with Vamps. He's good and can trigger the turn you play him if you cast him before you attack. Even though he's legendary you want to consistently cast him turn three, for that reason I would play 4x of him. Plenty of ways to discard other copies of Florian for value.

Socialite, Harvester and Florian is a nice trio of Rakdos Vamps. Voldaren Bloodcaster  Flip is a flying two drop Vamp who can be repeatable source of Blood and Falkenrath Pit Fighter can be an aggressive one drop Vamp who can be saced later if not useful to draw.

Example Vamp core for budget tribal Vamps:


Next is Vamp support and Welcoming Vampire can be repeatable draw from a flying Vamp, reason to splash white. Being rare and expensive price might be difficult to get more of Welcoming. If you can afford more than add more. Nighthawk Scavenger has flying and other keywords making it a nice Vamp to make bigger, but it's power relies on your opponent's graveyard making it a better sideboard Vamp when you know what your opponent is playing.

Edgar, Charmed Groom  Flip can be top of the curve Vamp and a reason to splash white, but Edgar at the top means that you don't need white in the early turns of the game which is helpful to cast black and red Vamps.

Example of Mardu with heavy Rakdos Vamp base:


Deadly Dispute is a good card in Standard especially when you're playing little creatures and Blood tokens. Infernal Grasp is more unconditional instant creature removal and being black is easier to cast then white removal.

Dispute, Florian, Welcoming, Fighter and Blood is a lot of main deck draw which can really help gameplay. This example needs red or black mana in the early turns for Vamps making 4x Secluded Courtyard very helpful because it enters the battlefield untapped and can also cast white Vamps.
