A little Vampire Tribal for EDH.

This is most certainly a work in progress, probably going to undergo changes fairly often until I settle on something I like. The sideboard is cards that will go into the deck just as soon as I acquire them.

The idea is to dominate the board creature-wise, which isn't too hard, seeing as how vampires pump up pretty fast and lock others down because they want to avoid presenting opportunities to pump them. Blood Artist and Falkenrath Noble are the main way to mitigate the setback of board wipes and combo well with Plague Wind. Olivia is there mostly to ping annoyances into non-existence or steal the bigger threats thus protecting your board advantage. Maybe I should keep some sac outlets to kill off said threats if Olivia dies... Something to ponder.

The deck packs a few options for some combo devastation. Sorin Markov + Wound Reflection or Blood Tribute + Wound Reflection are single player insta-kills. The classic Master of Cruelties + Rogue's Passage will pretty much take a player out too. Then of course there's the good old unreasonable Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond insta-win combo.

Its a fairly new deck. It definately needs work, and I'll be more than happy to hear any and all suggestions. So far, the deck mainly lacks consistency, too many cards aren't quite working like they should, and I'll see if adding that Phyrexian Arena helps with the card draw issues it's giving me.If anyone has any suggestions, you shall have my eternal gratitude.
