Let's dump some bloodsuckers to the grave and reanimate them using a card I feel like should be abused: Anje Falkenrath .

The Play

This basically plays like a slower aggro deck when it doesn't work and a reanimator deck when it does. Cast a few vamps to deal with any aggro and cause some damage of your own until you get Anje Falkenrath . Then use him to dump any cards with Madness (plus any vampires if Falkenrath Gorger is on the board, which he should be). After a decent amount of bodies and a Malakir Bloodwitch or two are in your graveyard, bring them all back with Patriarch's Bidding , kill everyone with life loss, then finish any survivors with an alpha swing next turn.

Even without Patriarch's Bidding , the combination of having Anje Falkenrath and Falkenrath Gorger enables you to instantly drop vampires at any time. Having an instant Gatekeeper of Malakir or Captivating Vampire can easily and unexpectedly swing the tide of a battle into your favor.

The Weaknesses

This is a casual vampires deck, so it's not very competitive. Black and red don't give much for any enchantment removal, so cards that prevent game loss due to loss of life like Phyrexian Unlife or Rest in Peace will stop this deck dead in its tracks. Bedevil will answer just about everything else, like Grafdigger's Cage , and non-targeted creature removal works with Gatekeeper of Malakir .
