You have a card draw/bearhug theme, maybe you should make this a Nekusar, the Mindrazer deck? I recommend running Memorial to Folly, Path of Ancestry, Blightstep Pathway  ^Flip, Drossforge Bridge, Talisman of Indulgence, Coldsteel Heart, Commander's Sphere, Fellwar Stone, Mind Stone, Star Compass, Fire Diamond, Charcoal Diamond, Glittering Stockpile, Prismatic Lens, Tome of the Guildpact, Exsanguinate, Read the Bones, Angrath, the Flame-Chained, Court of Ambition, Curtains' Call, Stormbreath Dragon, Fiery Confluence, Liliana's Specter, Capital Punishment, Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Soul Shatter, Tectonic Giant, Graveyard Trespasser  ^Flip, Palace Siege, Vance's Blasting Cannons  ^Flip, Cut / Ribbons, Make an Example, Oath of Liliana, Valakut Exploration, Terminate, Liliana's Triumph, The Eldest Reborn, Unnerve, Yarok's Fenlurker, Elderfang Disciple, Skull Rend, Tasigur's Cruelty, Warchief Giant, Warlock Class, Zof Consumption  ^Flip, Hagra Mauling  ^Flip, Skyclave Relic, Syphon Mind, Syphon Flesh.

Might I suggest Arterial Flow in place of Skull Rend? While Anhelo is out, it does the same thing but cheaper and with a bit of lifegain. In the same vein, Anhelo lets you reap the full tribal rewards of New Blood and Blood Tribute by himself.

Because of Strefan's 1st triggered ability, may I suggest the following:

End the Festivities is essentially a 1 mana Bonfire of the Damned

Impact Tremors gives you an added bonus for getting vampires on the battlefield.

Voldaren Epicure, if cast after Strefan enters the battlefield, nets you a vampire and at least 2 blood tokens for 1 mana.

Skull Rend and Vicious Rumors deal damage to each opponent and force them to discard cards.

I hope this helps. Happy Hunting!

I'd LOVE to add Skull Rend that I find effective in multiplayer (make them discard 2 cards at RANDOM!), but what card should I remove, then?

These might interest you: Gratuitous Violence , Wound Reflection , Burning Earth , Pestilence , Massacre Wurm , Repercussion , Angel's Trumpet , Incite Rebellion , Last Laugh , Chandra's Ignition , Eternal Thirst , Myojin of Night's Reach , Arcbond , Coalhauler Swine , Ancient Runes , Skull Rend

Skull Rend is probably your worst card and an easy cut. After that, it becomes kinda difficult.

Normally, I would say Lost Legacy but I think it's pretty good right now, and since your deck's overall power level is already subpar, it can't hurt to include.

Avatar of Discord perhaps?

Crosis's Charm , Cruel Ultimatum , Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur , Dream Salvage , Perplex , Skull Rend , Fraying Omnipotence , Rakdos's Return , Wit's End , Quest for the Nihil Stone , Patient Rebuilding , Shrieking Affliction , Torment of Hailfire , And also there's lots of great specter creatures that would work great in the deck, probably better than a dragon sub-theme if you wanted to go full discard control.

while building edh decks, I go for the template of 12 ramp, 10 draw, 5 boardwipes and 5 target removal

you only have one creature boardwipe, ( Hour of Devastation ), so I would take out Earthquake and add in cards like Last One Standing , Fire Covenant , Damnation , Blasphemous Act , or Decree of Pain .

Take out Ruination , Skull Rend to add in Thran Dynamo , Gilded Lotus , or Worn Powerstone

your draw cards are either non-repeatable ( Sign in Blood ), or unreliable ( Indulgent Tormentor ). I would recommend Necropotence , Phyrexian Arena , Underworld Connections Erebos, God of the Dead and other on-demand draw cards

hope this helps!
