This is my first Commander deck, although I must say it started as an Edgar Markov preconstructed deck. It is a Vampire Tribal deck, with a lifegain/lifedrain subtheme. However it's not all in lifegain, in that, I want to keep it Vampire tribal and it's hard to go all in lifegain without giving that up. Also, this is meant to be a casual deck, so no Sanguine Bond plus Exquisite Blood infinite combo.

Something worth commenting is that the name of the deck comes obviously because it's a Vampire deck. Vampires thirst for blood and blood is red. Now, that being said, I realized that the deck is mostly White/Black with a splash of Red, and hence "Thirst for red"!

It has some cards that are maybe not optimal, but I kindda love! For example, Nahiri, the Harbinger is not maybe the ideal card for this kind of deck, but I love the card, and being a Vampire deck, in which Sorin is there, it seemed kindda flavourful to include Nahiri. The same goes for Archangel Avacyn  , which is a worst substitute of Teferi's Protection , but a creature that can deliver some punch, some sort of boardwipe, and again, a great flavourful include! :D

It's a deck still in development, there's a bunch of cards I want to add, like Serra Ascendant and Gray Merchant of Asphodel. But it's mostly complete. It's not at all a Tier 1 deck or anything like that, but it's a relatively powerful deck, and really fun to play with (and I thing against). So, one of my favourite decks! :) Feel free of any suggestions, comments or else!
