---

This bride's plan is simple: get the most powerful vampires of the multiverse into the graveyard and cheat them out, either by attacking herself, or by getting help from Nullpriest of Oblivion, Bloodline Necromancer and Drana, the Last Bloodchief.

To prevent Olivia's exile effect from triggering, I run as many synergistic legendary vampires as possible, two protection artifacts with Swiftfoot Boots and Whispersilk Cloak (which help bigger creatures in general) and, according to feedback, also sac outlets like Viscera Seer and Falkenrath Aristocrat (which help creatures back into the graveyard instead).

Olivia can only bring back one creature a time and she comes out rather late, so I want to make it count when she does make her entrance. Rather than mass mill or wheels to fill my graveyard as much as possible, I run a lot of small-scale targeted discard, to only get the creatures I want into the graveyard, when they are about to be unleashed. This includes drawing with cards like Faithless Looting and Thrill of Possibility, a whole lot of blood token generators, graveyard tutors like Buried Alive and Unmarked Grave, as well as some little helpers on the side, like Key to the City (which help Olivia get through as well as give her a creature to revive) and Call the Bloodline (which brings in a free blocker for the tapped attackers).

Once the board is established, I plan to close the game with combat damage, mostly by powerhouses like Necropolis Regent and Nirkana Revenant, or through advantageous boardwipes like Kindred Dominance and Olivia's Wrath.

I'm aware I could probably increase the power level of this with more generic reanimator staples, but I simply adore the flavour of a vampire wedding and would like to commit to that as much as possible.

Anyway, I'm still tinkering, so feel free to leave feedback and suggestions!
