I used to run Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet great card. I might do 2 Taz 1 Kalitas 1 Damn which is a strictly better Damnation

I dunno I kinda want to fit a Sheoldred, the Apocalypse in as well but I feel like the deck needs to have a card advantage source

I can't really speak to adding more Damns as I never played the card. I personally prefer something like Damnation or Path of Peril in the SB for go wide strategies and more T1 discard MB.

Tasigur, the Golden Fang is OK as a 1-of midrange threat. It's a really grindy card. I think Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet is actually a better Midrange threat that needs to be answered or you can really take over the board with all of your removal.

If you want to go all-in vampires, Drana, Liberator of Malakir and Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet should be in your 75

depends on the boardstate... usually, a sacrificed creature dies as it enters the battlefield. If you have any "dies"-triggers on the battlefield, Teysa would trigger twice... if your opponent has some die-replacement effects (like Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet): no Teysa-trigger

Anguished Unmaking and Vindicate are better than Bedevil and Utter End Imo. I honestly don't think that Sorin Markov is very good for this deck. Sure he sets one players live total to 10 but I wouldnt want to pay 6 mana for that. Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord is pretty good as a replacement for him imo. I would definitely play Patriarch's Bidding in this deck.

Skyblade of the Legion is a really low impact creature. You don't have that much lifegain in the deck so I don't think that Markov Purifier is any good for your deck. YOu dont have that many Swamps so Nirkana Revenant propably doesnt do much.

Florian, Voldaren Scion Vampire Socialite Dusk Legion Zealot Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet are some Vampires that you could add

This looks good for an early draft of a Mardu vamps build. My Only real changes would be more Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord, more fetch lands and more Fatal Push.

Blasting Zone and Dragonskull Summit imho could go for more fetches, you could also look at the removal options red gives you such as Lightning Bolt and Terminate. Dreadbore is a sorcery which is usually bad for removal but planeswalker hate is at a premium in the current meta.

You could also add your choice of Thoughtseize or Inquisition of Kozilek to get rid of opposing creature hate.

My main recommendations for other vampires you could add would be Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet and Knight of the Ebon Legion. Both are extremely powerful. I'd recommend Olivia Voldaren if your deck weren't obviously meant to be an aggressive build. Maybe Edgar, Charmed Groom  ^Flip on the same note. If you can squeeze in more Sorins you could consider Champion of Dusk, Lord Xander, the Collector, or sideboard Blood Baron of Vizkopa.

Adanto Vanguard is a fantastic white vamp btw.

Personally, I'd drop the Martyrs of Dusk for Bloodghast as well. You could cut 1 cordial and 2-3 Indulgent Aristocrat for more support.

It looks strong for a somewhat rough draft, a little finetuning and you might have something good here.

Thanks Memphismaymagic5! I like Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet as a 1/3 split with Desecration Demon. I'm not sold on Go Blank. If it was 2 mana then absolutely. I think Whispers of Emrakul might be a better choice over Go Blank. At 3 MV I'd want a bigger pay-off.

Cool deck! You could consider Go Blank and Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet
