@Vessiliana I think you're right in that Vampire Socialite is probably the easiest thing to cut from my current list, but my one hangup is I'd almost certainly replace her with a higher costed card. Things on my mind are at this point: Baron Bertram Graywater, Ruthless Lawbringer, Vein Ripper, Bolas's Citadel, and Twilight Prophet. I wanna keep my mana curve as low as possible even with all the ramp for the sake of consistency.

Decided I want to keep Vito in this build. My last game by turn 5 I had Vito, Vraan, Bloodletter, Sanctum Seeker, Cordial and Master of Dark Rites in play. That was a fun one.

Well, at this point, it is delicate business cutting things! I might suggest Vampire Socialite for one. For the other? It's rough! Personally, I would cut Dark Ritual, just because I like to be able to use my mana again.

DarkKiridon thank you for the suggestions. I really wish Stromkirk Captain was Pioneer legal as he is an old favorite of mine. I definitely plan to add Fatal Push to my deck in place of Fake Your Own Death. I am going to keep looking at what vampire to swap my Sanguinary Mage for as it just recently replaced Furyblade Vampire. I am considering Child of Night (old fav) or Vampire of the Dire Moon or Vampire Cutthroat or Indulgent Aristocrat. Sanguinary mage isn't the right fit though. I am also considering Falkenrath Perforator as it is a more guaranteed way to ensure my opponent takes damage so I can trigger Vampire Socialite when I play vampires in my 2nd main phase. The lifelink will help ensure my opponent a quick life drain from Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose.

lhetrick13 - I see that you've already made some changes to the deck.

Wanting to keep the deck purely tribal is a fair argument. I tend to think of tribal as "the vast majority of creatures being of the same type", my dragon deck, for example, runs a few goblins as they really benefit the deck. But again, if you want to keep the purely tribal that's fair enough. I've also skipped Tuskguard Captain in the past because outlast is such a shitty ability. But trample would still be a good idea, and so is menace! I'd focus on one of them or both.

Vampire Socialite is an interesting one as she is likely to change the order you play your cards. I wanted her for my vampire deck but couldn't fit her in. If you decide to play Hagra Constrictor, Winding Constrictor could be added for some kind of "vampire-snake tribe". I'm a bit unsure of Hydra's Growth myself. I once made a hydra deck with it and I could get 999/999 creatures with Heroes' Bane + Hydra's Growth . The deck played fine but wasn't at the level of my other decks. It's a fun card though!

I see your point about Realmwalker. I've never considered that those types of abilities are meant to increase your hand-size essentially.

Anyway good luck. Feel free to tag me if you want some more feedback or just want to show off new changes!

Olivia Voldaren isn't in Standard, but your playgroup might allow it.

Be more aggressive with Vamps? Think Falkenrath Pit Fighter, not Olivia? More aggressive because the Vamp tribal matters cards here are Vampire Socialite and Gift of Fangs. These cards lean towards wanting more Vamps on the battlefield and being more aggressive with attacking. Turn 1 Falkenrath Pit Fighter, turn 2 Gift of Fangs enchanting Fighter is attacking with a 4/3 turn 2. Fighter can be more draw if it's not useful anymore.

Florian, Voldaren Scion is a good three drop Vamp, holds Gift of Fangs and counters from Vampire Socialite well with first strike. His trigger can be repeatable draw with a lot of card selection first if you're doing nice damage to your opponent with Vamps which being more aggressive with Vamps helps with.

Hey, you keep getting mana screwed? But 26 lands is high amount for Vamps. Deadly Dispute is a good Standard card for draw and ramp when playing Blood tokens and little creatures especially Voldaren Epicure. 4x Dispute could replace 2x Edgar's Awakening and 2x Westgate Regent? I don't think Westgate Regent is good enough Vamp at 5 mana.

Vampire Socialite is a reason to be playing all Vamps, tribal and it's really the only true tribal card here. Could add 2x more Socialite, cutting Restless Bloodseeker  ^Flip and Vampire Interloper?

• 4x Voldaren Epicure
• 4x Bloodtithe Harvester
• 4x Vampire Socialite
• 4x Deadly Dispute

This is a core to consider playtesting. Good luck with your deck.

Yogei - Good stuff! Thanks for sharing your thoughts man!

I am a little hesitant about Tuskguard Captain as I do not want to lose the tribe for him. In case you have ever thought about running Tuskguard, Duskshell Crawler is similar but a little cheaper. I have never ran Rancor but do hate when an opponent uses it so that is a decent option. I also thought about Hagra Constrictor for mass-menace.

I originally did have Winding Constrictor in this deck and dropped it to keep the tribe pure but do not disagree with you that it would be nice to have to add a 2x multiplier on that counter production. Vampire Socialite has some merit as it does have a lot of synergy with the aggressive nature of the deck. I almost included it originally but decided against it last minute for some reason. Good suggestion! Hydra's Growth is sick but might be a little slow or easy to deal with as none of the vampires I am running have a natural evasion from removal.

I think you are right about Slaughter Specialist. I liked how it came in at a 3/3 compared to Cordial Vampire's only 1/1 but Cordial's ability effects all my vampires while Slaughter's is more selfish. Realmwalker I think I might try to add another copy of before I decide to drop. The idea with it was to give me the ability to play creatures from the top of my library giving me a hand advantage since I lack draw engines. It is a nice ability combined with a 2/3 body is pretty decent for 3 CMC.

Always good to get some fresh perspective on stuff...let me think on this a few days but this has potential to make the deck better for sure. Thanks for taking the time to take a look!

Nice deck idea, it has potential! "+1/+1 counter when you deal damage" is a good strategy, but it needs utility to be effective. If you can't get through your opponent's defence, your deck slows down a lot. You need to make your opponent unwilling or unable to block you. Since you are playing green, I suggest leaning into trample. Tuskguard Captain or Rancor are good cards but you might find something else.

Hardened Scales is a great fit for the deck and to make the build-up of +1/+1 counters even more explosive, you could pair it with Winding Constrictor. Vampire Socialite and maybe even Hydra's Growth could work well.

I'd probably drop both Slaughter Specialist and Realmwalker. I think you have too few destroy spells for Slaughter Specialist's bottom-ability to be consistent, and I'm wondering if _Realmwalker really is all the useful?
