Focus on the strengths of your commander. Stick to one main strategy to avoid having an unfocused final product. Cut the cards that belong to other strategies altogether. Increase the deck’s overall power by including win conditions that don’t rely solely on combat.

this is "go Tall" rather "go Wide" deck, meaning it plays smaller amount of bigger creatures (vampires), not an army of weenies. Go Tall strategy employs such mid-range tactics as "cheat expensive creatures into play" or "reanimate big creatures for less mana" One of the ways to do so is with Strefan blood tokens. Other way would be via reanimation or mass reanimation. This strategy can also benefit from blood tokens, because they allow to discard reanimation targets. Some other cards like Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord, Sneak Attack, Inspiring Statuary or Bolas's Citadel can help "cheat" expensive Vampires into play.

Deck wins then via either: - dealing lethal damage by big vamps - drain opponents with Exsanguinate-like cards (Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Bolas's Citadel, Glass Heart, etc) - "insta-kill" combo: Blood Tribute + Sanguine Bond or Vito; Sorin Markov + 10 dmg

Strategy of the deck: 1. prepare board/graveyard, generate blood tokens; 2. cheat big vampires into play and attack with them 3. after reducing HP of your opponent finish them with either big flyers /big drain /combo.

---

roles of cards:

blood generators, blood payoff, scattered damage/drain, finisher, removal, draw / card advantage, ramp

---

Current issues deck is facing: 1. deck is quite fast out of gas (not enough card advantage/ recursion, wrong focus of strategy) 2. not enough interactions (removal) 3. deck struggles with finishing the game (1.out of gas, not enough finishers) 4. mana fixing, ramp?
