So if you're looking at this deck, you may be like me and are dying to make Vampires work in Modern. Well, with recent editions it is actually doable to make a super aggressive vampire deck (I have gone toe-to-toe with Goblins on MTGO). Not only that, the deck is incredibly (talking around 2 tix on MTGO) cheap! Some of my favorite cards from when I played Vampires in Zendikar standard make their reappearance here, but a lot of new goodies have joined in as well. I have put a lot of time into testing this deck and have found that several vampires that I thought (and many people think) were good, actually can (and should) be replaced.

The first thing that you might wonder is how well a tribal deck without a true lord works. Incredibly well it turns out! Being mono-black one might think that Vampire Nocturnus or Captivating Vampire would be the way to go. These are a bit clunky in my opinion and Stromkirk Condemned gets the job done better.

Virulent Swipe, Gatekeeper of Malakir, and Dark Tutelage are carry overs from my standard deck of years past. Pulse Tracker has been upgraded to Vicious Conquistador (a big upgrade), and to save precious resources Doom Blade has been downgraded to Disfigure, although if you have the cards in your collection, or don't mind dropping the extra $, Fatal Push is a no-brainer upgrade.

The rest has been filled out with hyper efficient cards. Let me know what you think or if you have any other suggested budget friendly upgrades (or even non-budget friendly upgrades).
