I finally uploaded my deck. Experimenting with some cards from Crimson Vow and would love to hear your thoughts!

Looks very nice but I'm kinda surprised you decided to cut Bloodghast. Cemetery Gatekeeper and Welcoming Vampire are very, VERY nice, and outside of EDH I think people sleep on them. There's a few higher mana vampires who I think are viable but only as a Sorin drop.

have you considered Tainted Pact? I've been using it, I like it. Just dig until you hit a card you want.

For what it's worth, this gets my seal of approval.

Bloodghast actually never shined for me the way i expected it.. Slotted this vamp for a long time but never had the value of him returning him to the battlefield over and over with landdrops.. The game never lasts that long enough. So i decided to cut him for (in my opinion) a better vamp like Cemetery Gatekeeper or Welcoming Vampire

Thanks for sharing your thoughts ! Highly appreciated ! I took the time to look at your Markov brew and it gets my seal of approval to! Good luck on the blood sucking ^^

Cheers and Happy Newyear

Hello Iblis,

I normally edit the changes to my deck immediately but now I swapped around 15 cards and I never really took the time to update my page here, I will check my binder soon and list all the cards up that have been swapped for the new version of my build, it's been a blast to play this version! Nearly every game starts explosive now, hyper aggro build like some say it. We are going extremely wide now on our boardstate so cards like Zulaport Cutthroat & Brutal Hordechief are must have non-vampire creatures in this brew. The hordechief has won me several games! Be sure to try him out!!

Thanks for the nice PS message bru! Love it! Greetz

Is Harald's Horn really worth it? Your mana curve is so low I don't see it doing much for a 3 mana artifact tbh. What do oyu think about Patriarch's Bidding ?

Hey lukas96, First of all sorry for my ultra late reply, didn't even notice i had new comments here ^^

Agree that the reduction of the artifact isn't great but it makes edgar 1 cmc cheaper... and some "high" cmc vamps cheaper...

But it's in here for the carddraw mostly! I have 40 vampires in this deck so chances are pretty solid i will have a free card draw on upkeep. I might replace it with Legion's Landing in the near future maybe... That card keeps haunting my mind :)

Thx for the comment!!

And lukas96,

Patriarch's Bidding is a good card if your deck is build midrange, like Living Death but in my aggro build there is no slot for such cards...

It's a dead card in opening hand and a dead card if you have no grave... IF you like it play Living Death instead, and run enough free sac outlets so you can sac your vamps with Living Death on the stack and make it a more one sided boardwipe.

Cheers man.

I have no intentions to bring in the blood token mechanic. Voldaren Epicure is just a nice 1 drop

Voldaren Estate is decent if u play a standard vampire deck build around blood tokens...

You have way beter lands for EDH.

Cheers for the comment!

Not so much about the blood vial mechanic as it is the fact that Harvester is just good in general. 3/2 body with added draw power, zero downside. Was just a suggestion ofc.

Any thoughts on Vraan, Executioner Thane since we always have chump blockers?

Hey sean360, good card but not good enough for a slot imo, 2cmc for a 2/2 body is very good but the "only triggers once each turn" is bad since we are going ultra wide and we have way more damage to resolve with a blood artist or a zulaport.

Thanks for the tip! Much appreciated

Some decent new vampires for MoM. Drana and Linvala is probably too expensive for your deck at 4 mana, but Dusk Legion Duelist looks like a decent way to draw cards. Voldaren Thrillseeker might be too situational.

Sad to know Ghalta and Mavren can't be used here. Probably the nastiest Imperious Sorin target to date. turn 3 12/12 trample that makes other dinosaur beaters and lots of vamp tokens, but sadly green/white doesn't go here.

Opened a box of March of the Machines and without knowing this card was even printed I found this jewel for my Edgar swarm Invasion of Gobakhan  Flip !!

I replaced Voldaren Stinger was my weakest vamp of the deck.

Invasion of Gobakhan  Flip front card is always nice to look at opponent's hand and exile a nonland card what could bring mayhem to our massive boardpresence.

Defeating the battle with only 3 def counters will not be a problem for our coven. When it flips... INSANE ENCHANTMENT!

All creatures that attacked get a +1/+1 counter on all of my end steps + we can sacrifice the enchantment to protect our boardpresence with hexproof & indestructible.

Thank You Wizards for bringing this magnificent card to us :)
