Welcome again to the 3rd Edition of my Vamps and Light Decks, This one focusus primarily on gaining life, but not through normal means, rather through means that drain the opponet and this is likely my favorite kind of vampire deck that I never got around to making but has always been a favorite of mine I've been meaning to try despite I'm still quite new to standard. I plan to make this deck the most powerful of the other two editions I've already made while combining the aspects of both of those editions.
(Also note this is on a more lower budget and may not be my best deck idea and won't be finalized for a time until everythings worked out but its an idea to start with)
Firstly we'll start with Life Gaining: Card's like Gifted Aetherborn, Vampire Tokens with lifelink, and such all have the ability to gain the life help make your deck survive just a little further
Secondly I'll talk about Life Draining: Few cards exist that are standard legal are able to drain opponets lifesource without gain but still prove useful as a theme of the deck.
Thirdly I'll tell you about the primary focus of the deck, Life Gaining and Draining: This is the form of gaining life while weakening your opponet at the same time with every move you make, every turn you'll gain something, and the opponet will lose something, aka, life points.
Cards that greatly signify this deck will be the card such as Sanctum Seeker
Lastly you got the rest of the cards in the deck: These being cards that give +1/+1 counters and help create the army of vampires to grow not only in size, but decent power. These are the cards that will be used to remove and exile opponets various resources while keeping your own in play, but also grants your vampires the ability needed to help you survive
Here's the cards that will benefit this deck greatly for the sake of vampire power: Legion Lieutenant, Radiant Destiny, Unclaimed Territory, Shefet Dunes for its later ability, Call to the Feast,Mavren Fein, Dusk Apostle, and thats about it for that.
Now then, I wrote alot and if you read it, thanks actually, took a lot of time for details and all but its my general idea of what I'd feature in this deck and its capabilities. Thank you for reading and do help give suggestions to make this deck become as powerful as it should sound.
All suggestions and tips are greatly appreciated as always :). Thanks if you can help master this deck to its true potential that it could be.
