A commander deck that revolves around killing creatures, therefore giving Elenda, the Dusk Rose +1/+1 and making her have a very high power and toughness. Then you kill her and make a bunch of 1/1 tokens. If you have any ideas, please let me know in the comments.

The main features of this deck:

LIFELINK: There are many creatures and spells that make you gain life such as Hopeful Eidolon, Indulgent Aristocrat, Nip Gwyllion, Sacred Cat, Trained Caracal, Vampire Cutthroat, Ajani's Sunstriker, Child of Night, Daggerdrome Imp, Gifted Aetherborn, Mesa Unicorn, Vault Skirge, Blood-Cursed Knight (Kind of), Sadistic Skymarcher, Rhox Faithmender, Voracious Hatchling, and Divinity of Pride. REMEMBER, when you attack or block with one of these creatures, you gain life equal to the damage it dealt. If a 1/1 with lifelink is attacking and not getting blocked, you gain one life (equal to its power, the first 1.) This also is the same when it gets blocked or blocks. You gain the one life because the damage is being dealt to the attacking or blocking creature.

CREATURE DESTRUCTION: Using spells like Bone splinter, Foul-Tongue Shriek, Doom Blade, Go for the Throat, Reave Soul, Sorin's Thirst, Ultimate Price, Walk the Plank, and Essence Extraction, Elenda, the Dusk Rose's second ability (Whenever another creature dies, put a +1/+1 counter on Elenda, the Dusk Rose.) really helps get her to a really high Pow/Tuf. Then, we can kill Elenda to turn all of those +1/+1 counters on her to create that many 1/1 vampire tokens. By using Intangible Virtue, those tokens become 2/2s. This also protects us from illness of the ranks, which I use in a lot of my commander decks.

CREATURE UPGRADES: There are many cards that help us enhance our creatures' power to kill our opponents as quickly as possible.
