I am super excited for commander 2017 vampires! This deck idea was inspired by Falkenrath Noble as well as my love for the color green and the token strategy that comes with it. Saskia is the commander mostly for access to green for ramp/fixing and the token cards such as Doubling Season, Parallel Lives and Craterhoof. What also makes Saskia compelling is her ability to provide more damage since a lot of the vampires have relatively low power levels making combat damage more impactive. The mana base and the ramp cards are built to take advantage of the "forest keyword" which in theory will allow me to fetch the colors I need. Examples include the forest fetchlands and Wood Elves.

Unfortunately, not many vampires and their respective cards create or support tokens. Looking for any suggestions in this aspect as well as the overall construction of the deck including the mana base, creatures, and card draw. Would like to stick to the mostly tribal theme but general "good stuff" will also be taken int account. Also any tips involving Karmic Guide shenanigans would also be appreciated.

Have a great day!!!! :)
