Deck Description

Die for one, Attack for all.

Assemble an army of Bloodthrones, Bairns, and aristocrat's. Self respawners like Bloodghast offer the lives to fuel this army. Every sacrifice is used "snout to tail," fueling Beetles and Blade wielders. As most cards in the deck are vamps the Blade recycles quite efficiently. The Pawn ensures at least double the sacrifice by reviving each death as spawn to be fodder. Lastly the Blood Artists burn in memoriam of each death and sacrifice.

When down to the wire, against a whole army to block, only one vamp need slip through, carrying the hopes, dreams, and flesh of the rest with it.

How to Play

Build up the army of sac-vamps
Sac-vamps provide a sac-at-will ability to fuel many of the cards in the deck including themselves

play Pawns and each sac (including pawns) will create a token for each pawn.
Each of these may also be sacrificed, but also multiple pawns can turn one creature into many if blocking is required

Each sacrifice also pings the opponent for one with blood artist.

simply, a sacrifice buffs a sac-vamp +2, mortician beetles and blade holders 1/1 and 2/2, burns one, makes a token to sac for additional +2, 1/1, 2/2, and 1damage.

If a card becomes the target of a kill spell or any devastating card, just sac it and watch your opponent's anger as his spell fails to resolve and your creatures get buffed. the same is true if you block an attacker you cant kill any way, block, sac, profit.

with an army out, swing house, if even one sac-vamp isn't blocked, sac all, sac tokens, and if the opponent is still alive after the Blood Artists' burn, the one sac-vamp will probably kill them.
Beware Fog!!!!!!!

Warning Math below

1 pawn, 1 blood artist, 1 sac-vamps, X sacrificeable creatures= 2X burn damage + 4x+2 Combat damage (or +1 if blood throne)

Minimum swing outs
1 pawn, 1 blood artist, 3 sac-vamps against 2 or less blockers= 14 damage, sac pawn for 6 more= 20 damage

1 pawn 2 sac vamps, 2 Blades (one each, or the opponents too stupid to block the one with the blade.)= +4 +4counters, +4 +4counters for pawn, +2 from the vamp itself= 18(almost won!!!)

1 pawn, 1 blood artist, 2 sac-vamps against 1 or less blockers= 8 damage, sac Artist for 5 more= 13 damage, sac pawn for 4 more= 17 damage (almost won!!!)

2 pawn, 2 sac vamps vs 1 blocker= 8 damage + 6 (for pawn) 1 +4 (for pawn 2)= 18 damage (almost won!!!)
