This is an Olivia brew where the sub theme is vampires with a few spicy mix-ins. I just finished testing it at my locals tonight and it runs beautifully. It doesn't have the most optimal cards but it doesn't need them, and has many methods of getting to your win con through combat.

Gorebrand: If you bring him back through Olivia his effect goes off and you don't have to sacrifice a creature.

Chainer: I've gotten a few raised eyebrows for him but he gives haste to things brought back from the grave, and not just through him. So he grants haste to a lot of reanimation targets if you're using say Junji to bring something back before a combat. Plus you don't have to cast from the graveyard if you pitch through him so he's a free way to get big things into the graveyard easily.

"Easy" win-con: Port Razor + Sac outlet + Olivia. If you can get Port Razor through you can infinitely recast it and infinitely combat. However 90% of the time people will go hard on it and ignore your commander. In exchange their concern and fear about you and your Port Razor can work in your favor. Remember that combat is a win condition, and you still have things like Necropolis Regent, Patron of the Veins etc. to buff your vampires. With Razor becoming a primary target you can use it to take time to buff your board or move things by reanimating it.

Reanimation: There are tons of targets to reanimate either through Chains or Olivia, and with tons of reanimation methods you can even let Olivia go to the grave and bring her back that way. With Chains you can insure your Olivia is always 6/5 (with Hazoret's Monument) mana. Junji is another great way to bring Olivia back and she can just bring him back too. With some good sac outlets as well (Anje, Ashnod's, Dementia) you can easily drop Junji to bring back something good.

Bladewing: I included him because in a post board wipe pre-potential bojuka he can be a potential late game win-condition. Even then being able to bring him back if you have a lot of reanimation targets in graveyard means you can just start making tokens to build up a board state.

Zagreas: Every time I tell people I include Zagreas in this list I get a raised eyebrow. But then they play their Elspeth, their Tibalt or other planewalker and inevitably they realized why it's in the list. Since the sub-theme is vampires and I can make non-vampires vampires through Olivia Mobilized for War Zagreas becomes another threat that pulls aggro away from Olivia herself or potentially forces them to make a choice. Zagreas' guaranteed aggression while paired with say Stromkirk Captain or Stensia Masquerade? Or the infinite win con? They'll choose the win condition but now their path to exile is gone and takes one more threat away from some of your other heavy hitters.

This is a fun combat deck with a "spooky" sub-theme. It's not the best deck power wise but it's fun and does what it sets out to do. Be thematic and be an obnoxious part of the table. Enjoy the Wedding.
