Crimson Vow has brought us a lot of fun and interesting vampire cards. I've been eager to try them all, and they all are incredibly fun to play with!
This here is an Orzhov vampire/lifegain deck that features Edgar, Charmed Groom
as its centerpiece.
Strategy
This deck aims to gain as much life as possible to ensure we don't die and to drain our opponent's so that they die instead.
Edgar, Charmed Groom
provides an excellent lord effect while also being an ever-present presence on the battlefield. He also provides 1/1 lifelinkers on the backside.
Markov Purifier was absolutely stellar when we started to draw cards with him, which tends to be around turn 4 or 5. He is a nice 2/3 body with lifelink that can get us ahead in card advantage with his ability. An absolute star.
In addition, we have Nullpriest of Oblivion for her resurrection ability, Nighthawk Scavenger for all of his keywords, and Marauding Blight-Priest for her drain effect, which pairs nicely with a lot of this deck.
Henrika Domnathi
was a key player to helping us win. She draws cards, sacrifices creatures on both sides, and is similar to Nighthawk Scavenger in abilities while also being able to pump creatures with flying, deathtouch, or lifelink. An all-around amazing player.
Sorin the Mirthless is a solid 4-drop planeswalker that gives us a 2/3 flyer and lifelink that can draw us additional cards with his +1 by trading life, an obstacle we can get around easily.
Finally, Cleric Class tops it all off with its life gain boosting ability, pumping creatures, and resurrection should we ever need it. A must-include.
Win Cons
- Pound and drain until dead
