Instead of Pride of Conquerors, I would suggest Unbreakable Formation. It does cost {1} extra by comparison, but it can give your creatures indestructible and +1 counters instead of the temporary bonus.

Also, I don't think that Thalia, Guardian of Thraben is very good in this deck considering the number of non-creature spells you're running. Dauntless Bodyguard would be {1} less casting cost and still provide a relevant ability.

Cool deck! +1 from me!

Looks fun. You might like these: Bident of Thassa, Coastal Piracy, Return of the Wildspeaker, Mirror Entity, Vitalizing Wind, Charge, Ritual of Hope, Pride of Conquerors, Stampede Driver, War Screecher, Sea Gate Banneret, Cliffside Lookout, Wild Beastmaster, Pathbreaker Ibex, Encampment Keeper, Oakhame Ranger

You, sir. I admire your earnestness.

For getting more counters, I HIGHLY suggest Yawgmoth, Thran Physician. Golgari is an excellent color combination for getting a ton of cards in your hand and a ton of mana, so you could easily go from a couple of counters to 10 in a turn. Same logic for Planewide Celebration. 7 mana for 4 counters each isn't a bad deal. Lean into green ramp. You can definitely afford to fire off 1-for-1 2-mana green ramp spells, so long as you're drawing with Tymna.

You can amplify the effects of your infect and proliferate cards with Winding Constrictor and Corpsejack Menace. Hand of the Praetors and Phyrexian Swarmlord are infect lords, so they should probably see play. Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons means that all of your infect creatures explode into deathtouching snakes when they trade in combat.

Swamp Mosquito doesn't say infect, but it has non-keyworded Infect. Suq'Ata Assassin has non-keyworded Fear, but also gives poison counters with evasion. If you want to load up on the cheapest, most efficient bodies with infect, then it might be worth running Pit Scorpion, too.

The reason why I would go for a bigger spread of bodies is that it will ultimately be more efficient to load up on instant-speed mass pump spells, rather than having to draw and cast poorly-suited cards for Commander like Giant Growth. In priority order, I'd go Return of the Wildspeaker, Overrun, Pride of Conquerors, Make a Stand, Dark Triumph, Borrowed Grace, Zealous Persecution, Fortify, Sigil Blessing.

Looks fun! Too bad snuggle copter is banned, it'd fit perfect here. I would consider Pride of Conquerors and Adanto Vanguard , both were horrifically effective during their time in white weenie standard.

Whatever you decide to do, good luck at fnm!

Hey there. I got to say, I really like your take on this tribe in standard. I tried to make it work back in the day when Rivals came out, was rather casual fun but still fun. ;) (Before that I used the vampire tribe shell with Crested Sunmare shenanigans. Great times.)

There are only a few things I'd like to point out I might do differently here. Probably things you already considered but nontheless here you go.

I very much like the idea of somehow draining the opponent out with Cruel Celebrant but adding it as a four-of seems kinda odd in a aggro deck to me. In this slot I personally would prefere the good ol' Adanto Vanguard . Yeah, I'm aware of the hate she is facing, but still. In a aggro build absolutely mandatory. ;)

Second thing I noticed is that I might play a mix of Icon of Ancestry and Radiant Destiny . Because former seems more like a lategame card and you surely don't want to end up there with an aggro build. HEHE. Maybe I'm just wrong here but maybe even Unbreakable Formation would be an option for this spot. (Or even Pride of Conquerors ?)

Besides that I might cut one plains for an additional Isolated Chapel .

I'm currently running a BW midrange build and there I really liked Oath of Kaya and Despark in the sideboard. Maybe they could be options for you as well.

I hope this was of some help to you. I'm seriously considering to go back to full scale vamps for this season. If only the playset of the new Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord wasn't like at least 50 bucks.

Have a good one.

I might switch out Vampire's Zeal , with Pride of Conquerors , it pumps your creatures making them all bigger threats and if you have Sorin they will all gain lifelink, and Legion Lieutenant just pumps them even further giving all other creatures a total of +3/+3! (+2/+2 from Pride of Conquerors) then proceed to attack with everyone for a possible win. I would also switch out Queen's Commission , with Call to the Feast you get more Vampires that way.

Hope this helps!

Hey, you're welcome. I like the changes.

The main deck and the sideboard lack draw options. Draw is important to give you more fuel for Hero, Judith and Priest; these cards require a lot of fuel. Consider main deck Midnight Reaper and sideboard Theater of Horrors ? They are both in the maybeboard. I like Reaper a lot with Gutterbones. This interaction has much more impact here then a lot of other cards because of all the sac outlets (Pontiff and Priest). Out of all the four drops you can be playing Teysa has the least impact for four mana :( I'm sorry to say, but Teysa other than being multicolored for Hero and giving tokens lifelink she doesn't do much. The afterlife interactions with her ability are few and far between, so much so that you'll rarely get that bonus. Like Panharmonicon she's not a card for Standard, she's for Commander.

Consider main deck 2-3x Reaper and sideboard 2x Theater. Cards to consider cutting for these additions are Teysa, Seraph, Wrath, Audience.

Some good interactions to keep in mind are:

1. Pride of Conquerors against Cry of the Carnarium and Goblin Chainwhirler .
2. Angrath, the Flame-Chained + Theater of Horrors for midrange/control matchups. Angrath's +1 is a repeatable no mana cost spectacle enabler. In midrange matchups steal your opponent's creature, attack with it and then sac it for more value.
