Deck Description

This deck is fast, all cards in this deck are 4 mana or less. To make sure you don’t get slowed down it is mono colored, but honestly with cards this powerful you don’t need any other colors.

This deck has a vampire combo which is difficult to beat and will keep you alive. But to really ensure a victory, I added in two of my favorite cards “Phyrexian Obliterator” & “Desecration Demon”. Either of these win cons will devastate your opponent for only 4 mana.

Only Lightning Greaves and Recover are not allowed in Extended, you can easily swap them out if you need it to be legal in that format.

Phyrexian Obliterator only costs 4 mana LOL

How to Play

It is all pretty straight forward.

Kalastria Highborn generates 2 life and causes 2 damage each time a vampire dies. This will happen a lot since you have 16 Vampires, plus 4 of those vampires can spawn new vampire tokens each turn.

Skirsdag High Priest adds a nice touch since all you need is two other creatures to acticate its ability and start putting out 5/5 black demons token with flying you create every turn. It works well with all the 2/2 black vampires tokens with flying you create every turn.

On turn 4 cast either Desecration Demon, Phyrexian Obliterator, or Bloodline Keeper. Your opponent will either have to deal with them quickly or lose the game.

Save your Recover to bring back one of your 4 mana creatures your opponent destroys.
Use Lightning Greaves to protect your big creatures from targeted spells and to speed thing up.
Use Blade of the Bloodchief to make your vampire more powerful, things can really get out of hand when vampire night hawk has this and 2 other creatures have died.
For only 4 mana Whip of Erebos gives lifelink to all your creatures.

Deck discussion for Dark Side of the Force

I love how powerful Phyrexian Obliterator and Desecration Demon are. When you have cards that powerful for only 4 mana, why would you ever need a card that costs more mana than that?

It is too bad Phyrexian Obliterator is so expensive. $100 for a play set of 4 is steep. But it feels so good when you play it.
