Life is what happens when you're busy making others die

- Dina Lennon, Tea Sipper

I took out Exquisite Blood from this deck. Winning by infinite combos didn't satisfy me at all. All in all this is a pretty focused deck that is a lot of fun to play.

Wincons

• Win by passive damage and drain all opponents life by gaining on own lifecount. Prime examples are Blood Tribute which can be kicked by one of the 12 vamps in this deck.
• therefore Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose or Sanguine Bond are wincons themselves as they can turn massive life gain in to massive damage really quick. Check out the "One Time Big Gains" category. I've included Alhammarret's Archive for obvious reasons.
• Win by combat with creatures that profit from life gain. Sproutback Trudge, Bloodthirsty Aerialist, Blood Researcher etc. can swing hard in mid/lategame.
• Aetherflux Reservoir one shot an opponent as the life gain can get really out of hand here.
• Wound Reflection will accelerate things - fast!

Use Infuse with Vitality and Tamiyo's Safekeeping for Dina. Here this kind of protection is more synergized, as it feeds Dina right after saving her - Fits better than any other protection in Golgari could do imo.
