Deck Description

Everyone and their dog has a Vampire deck.

This is mine.

Hopefully it isn't like all the rest.

I am open to suggestions, comments, and sarcastic remarks.

NOTE: The lands are simple for the purposes of keeping the cost down around $30.

How to Play

The deck is based on ticking away at your opponents life while you slowly gain life. everything in the deck was chosen with that specifically in mind or to synergize with something that accomplishes that goal.

4 Tithe Drinker - Extort
2 Blind Obedience - Extort

I am trying to enhance the extort ability by keeping the CMC as low as possible, with all but 6 cards costing 3 or less. Also, Tithe Drinker becomes a 5/4 lifelink with just one Edge on.

4 Kalastria Healer - Ally

Functions similar to extort but cheaper. Only having 12 Allies all together doesn't mean this is a mechanic I rely on but as the other Allies synergise really well then it works out.

4 Drana's Emissary - Ally

Functions as a slow, but free, almost-extort. Also synergises with Edge of the Divinity becoming a 5/5 flying.

4 Cliffhaven Vampire - Ally

Enhances all extort and extort-like abilities in deck. Also synergises with Edge of the Divinity becoming a 5/7 flying.

4 Indulgent Aristocrat - All Vamps get +1/+1 counters
2 Sorin, Lord of Innistrad - Emblem: Creatures get +1/+0

Meant to enhance the rest of the Vampires. Sorin can make tokens to sac to Aristocrat (for example) or just make the emblems making your lifelinkers gain even more life.

2 Blood-Cursed Knight - Lifelink
4 Tithe Drinker - Lifelink
4 Indulgent Aristocrat - Lifelink

Also the Knight can become quite a bruiser when the enchantments hit the field.

2 Blind Obedience
4 Edge of the Divinity
4 Shadow Lance

All can trigger the Knight, keep the deck's CMC low, and synergize well with the rest of the deck.

2 Shadow Ally Denizen

One drop Vamp chosen to enhance the mid to late game by helping big lifelinkers slip through, but only two of them as I don't rely on that happening and intimidate doesn't always work. Otherwise it is a free sac for Aristicrat if I am facing a white or Black deck and can't make use of intimidate.

Its more casual honestly. Pretty much would just use it in multiplayer among my friends.

Anything immediately apparent on how to speed it up, though?
