Pretty straight forward, cast vamps and turn them sideways!

Soul Collector and Sengir Nosferatu are not exactly the best vamps ever printed, but they're so much fun! A morph vampire that's old enough that a lot of people may not remember it, making it a sneaky thief, and a vampire that turns into a bat and then back again?! Too cool!!

Also, Go for the Throat obviously has better upgrade options, but hopefully just as obviously, I'm playing it for the flavour.

I have also cut a few higher CMC vamps in exchange for lower costed options. I also upped the land count a bit, as I was consistently getting stuck on 4 or 5 mana with a grip of 6 drops. #feelsbad

The exclusion of Anointed Procession is due to the fact that between Commander Legends and all of the 2021 precons, I feel pretty certain we'll see a reprint in the next year. (And, to be fair ((To be fairrrrr)), Edgar Markov pumps out tokens so efficiently, it's almost a bit win-more?)

Any tips appreciated! If it's a Mardu vampire legal in EDH, I've looked at it on Gatherer, but I'm willing to hear your case on why I should be playing it.
