There are two things that I'm excited about in this deck:

1) Everything is dirt cheap to cast. I curve out at 4 mana, and can begin to summon more than one creature per turn, or use the additional mana to aggressively use my removal to kill creatures that could block my own.

2) Even the dinkiest creatures like Guul Draz Vampire and Stromkirk Noble grow in power as the game progresses. Additionally, Stromkirk Captain bestows First Strike on every single one of my creatures, allowing me to potentially win all combat phases. Oh yeah: Vampire Nocturnus gives all my creatures +2/+1 and flying. The abilities built into this deck more than compensate for not having haste.

Update 4/22/2018:

This is the most powerful deck I own. It works exactly as intended and is mean as shit.
