"Madness; it's in the blood" Amadeous Arkam, Arkham Asylum - A Serious House on Serious Earth, 1989

This deck is designed to make full advantage of the Madness Mechanic. With cards that force your own discard to pump up creatures and get spells out.

And what better to inspire madness than Nosferatu?

Madness: There are several cards with the Madness trigger to keep pumping out items unexpectedly. With Falkenrath Gorger, all vampires become Madness cards.

Discard: In order to utilize the madness triggers, we need to be able to discard. The deck has several ways to utilize the discard, makingour creatures stronger in the process, namely our Commander Olivia, Mobilized for War.

Draw: With all of this discarding, we are going to need to be able to rebuild our hand. That is why there are a lot of draw triggers with this deck as well.

Vampire Buffs: We are sending the vampires to do our bidding. To that end, we must make the undead strong, through cards such as Bloodline Keeper   and Stromkirk Captain.

Removal/Control: Finally, we need to be able to deal with any of those pesky tricks that our opponents might try to play. We have several creature removals (Terminate , Dreadbore, Butcher of Malakir), but we are also able to take control of some of those creatures we want with cards like, Olivia Voldaren, Captivating Vampire, and Malevolent Whispers.

Suggestions are always welcome. I am trying to keep the budget on this deck low, and I am trying to keep with the theme of 'Vampire Madness'.

Enjoy! And if you like it, please UpVote
