You are looking at a surprisingly fast vampire combo deck I brewed up after seeing carnival of souls when looking for ideas with Edgar. Originally I was running it as a mostly aggro deck, but kept losing to value engine decks. Back to carnival of souls: with it out each of our vampires become a black rite of flame, which along with the MVP skullclamp we can dig very deep into our library and land a pitiless plunderer or phyrexian altar effect to start making 3+ mana per vampire. Between the treasures, carnival of souls and aetherflux reservoir storm count this deck has a lot of things to keep track of, so keep dice handy starting from turn 3.

Deck wins with either bolas citadel/top or oathsworn vampire paired with a way to get mana from it, and aetherflux or a blood artist effect (2 if you are using carnival of souls).

For deck decisions I ran all the 1 mana vampires (and 2 changelings) I could find along with any 2 drop that had 1 toughness and a relevant effect. Also threw in all the ramp and tutors I could think of, and a couple pieces of interaction. First thing you should be doing is getting skullclamp out ASAP. If you dont have a couple vampires and either a tutor or card draw engine ship it back, you get a free mulligan anyways.

When playing this deck do not forget the black mantra, you dont lose until you have 0 life. Dont be afraid to use ad nauseam and go super deep or be afraid to continuously play into carnival of souls.

Let me know of anything that could help out or anything I missed, thank you!
