Intro

Goal of the deck is to play vampires FAST, buff them, swing out, win! I started this deck by running more high cost utility vampires but I'm starting to move towards a more lower curve and play more 1 and 2 drops to try and win faster. Any suggestions appreciated! I'm trying to make this deck as fast as possible :)

Change Log

1/24/2020

IN - Ad Nauseam; OUT - The Eldest Reborn

Eldest Reborn is a somewhat expensive cost for a slow effect. Ad Nauseum is insane in this deck. I wasn't going to add it for budget reasons but how could I not.

IN - Sanctum Seeker; OUT - Gatekeeper of Malakir

I must have missed Sanctum Seeker when I was making this deck because man, this card is great. Gatekeeper is really only somewhat effective with the kicker cost and three black can be hard to do.

IN - Arcane Signet; OUT - Commander's Sphere

Found myself preferring to play creatures than paying 3 mana for a rock and rarely using the sac to draw effect.

IN - Throne of the God-Pharaoh; OUT - Decree of Pain

Let's be real, 8 mana is too costly for this deck. I also have many other board wipes and removal. Throne of the God-Pharoh seems very good when I'm swinging with a bunch of creatures

IN - Graven Cairns, Vault of the Archangel, Exotic Orchard; OUT - Nomad Outpost, Temple of Silence, Temple of Triumph

Found myself hating lands that come in tapped for an aggro deck. Vault of the archangel could be very good to deter opponents from blocking.

2/11/2020

IN - Springleaf Drum; OUT - Paradise Mantle

Thanks to tkjanacek for the suggestion. Seems like an good swap.

IN - Shared Animosity; OUT - Blade of the Bloodchief

Thanks to Last_Laugh for this suggestion. Why buff one vampire with Blade of Bloodchief when I could buff all of them!

IN - Vampire Cutthroat; OUT - Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief

Found Drana slow, being a 5 mana do nothing until next turn with removal that isn't guaranteed. Vampire Cutthroat is just a one drop that I can swing with early.

IN - Vicious Conquistador; OUT - Voldaren Pariah  

Faster!! Didn't like how Voldaren Pariah is target opponent and not each opponent.

IN - Mind Slash; OUT - Bontu's Monument

Mind slash honestly just seems fun. See my opponents hands and make them discard their cards? Sounds good to me.

4/1/2020

Got some cards from Mystery Booster packs to add in :)

IN - Herald's Horn; OUT - Mind Stone

Possibly get an extra vampire draw each turn and vamp spells cost less? Yup.

IN - Phyrexian Arena; OUT - Olivia Voldaren

Extra draw is always good and the life loss means nothing to me. I never activate Olivia's abilities so...

IN - Tithe Drinker; OUT - Mavren Fein, Dusk Apostle

Not sure about this one. Mainly just playtesting Tithe Drinker with extort to see if it is more valuable.

6/21/2021

Re-visiting Edgar since I think he could use some upgrades. Just some lands to start, but going to grab some more new cards to try out soon.

IN - Fetid Heath; OUT - Orzhov Basilica

IN - Rugged Prairie; OUT - Boros Garrison

Replacing bounce lands with filter lands. Coming in tapped isn't helping me win fast.

10/6/21

More Edgar upgrades have arrived :)

Creatures:

IN - Nighthawk Scavenger; OUT - Anowon, the Ruin Sage

Anowon is too slow, and Scavenger is just a better Vampire Nighthawk.

IN - Nullpriest of Oblivion; OUT - Bloodline Necromancer

Just a better reanimation option with the availability of being a 2 drop.

IN - Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose; OUT - Voldaren Pariah  

Pariah doesn't do much typically, giving everything lifelink seems good.

IN - Florian, Voldaren Scion; OUT - Skymarcher Aspirant

Skymarcher feels like the worst of my one drops and Florian just seems insane.

IN - Vampire Socialite; OUT - Rakdos Charm

Not getting much use out of Rakdos charm.

IN - Cruel Celebrant; OUT - Tithe Drinker

Just a better creature for the cost.

IN - Rakish Heir; OUT - Commander's Sphere

Commander's Sphere is too much mana, Rakish Heir seems good.

IN - Mirror Entity; OUT - Blind Obedience

Mirror Entity's ability is wild with a bunch of 1/1s. Blind Obedience doesn't do much.

Other:

IN - Village Rites; OUT - Read the Bones

One mana to draw two at instant speed at the cost of a 1/1 seems way better than 3 mana sorcery speed with scrying.

IN - Akroma's Will; OUT - Boros Charm

Much more utility out of an instant that gives my creatures indestructible.

IN - Sorin, Solemn Visitor; OUT - Sorin, Vengeful Bloodlord

Just a better Sorin for a wide board.

IN - Pact of the Serpent; OUT - Return to Dust

Return to Dust is boring for too much mana. Want to try out Pact of the Serpent.

IN - Path to Exile; OUT - Mortify

Simply better removal spell.

IN - Blasphemous Act; OUT - Cleansing Nova

Better board wipe.

Lands/Mana Rocks:

IN - Brightclimb Pathway  ; OUT - Rakdos Carnarium

IN - Fabled Passage; OUT - Evolving Wilds

IN - Tainted Peak; OUT - Bojuka Bog

Replacing more lands that come in tapped with ones that come in untapped.

IN - Talisman of Hierarchy; OUT - Orzhov Signet

IN - Talisman of Indulgence; OUT - Rakdos Signet

Talismans are better than Signets.
