The war between humans and vampires! Will the angels and Demons join the fray!? Ravos, Soultender must leave his partner, Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful to fight with the humans against the vampires. As the battle progresses and troops are lost on either side - what beings shall be unleashed onto the battlefield? And will Ravos make it back to his loyal partner?

pls don't kill the dog

This deck is the 2nd EDH deck I have constructed. I took a more fun approach to this, and built the deck around this idea of the humans fighting the vampires so I could see how vampires do in a white/black deck. The angels and demons seemed like a cool way to bring the deck's story to a climactic finale. There are 17 legendary permanents in the 98 plus Ravos to ensure Yoshimaru is always getting the opportunity to add a +1/+1 to himself. The deck relies heavily on the graveyard and runs lots of sacrifice options and ETB effects to capitalize off of Ravos' upkeep effect.

Any feedback is appreciated! I do want to be able to win with this, but that's not entirely the main goal so much as it is to get through the story concept by getting a big angel like Avacyn, Angel of Hope before/after I get a big demon Demon of Death's Gate or Shadowgrange Archfiend out.
