Deck Description

I won a tournament during original Zendikar with black red aggro vamps so why not try again?

How to Play

T1: Falkenrath Gorger
T2: Heir of Falkenrath (Swing to 18)
T3: Discard Olivia's Bloodsworn to transform heir and play it with Gorger's madness ability. Drop in any of the 12 1 drops or just haste the bloodsworn. (Swing to 13 or 11)
T4: Drana w/ haste (Swing to -1 or -2) Dashing Pitiless Horde here is also lethal.

If they drop in a blocker or cast removal you have plenty of creatures to swarm past them in the next turn or two. Zulaport Cutthroat will finish them even if they have blockers. Infectious Bloodlust looks good on the menacing Insolent Neonate, the life-gaining Indulgent Tormentor, or any of the 7 flyers(11 if you count heir of the night.)

Sideboard
Despise their (hopefully) only early game creature
Despoiler of Souls or Corpseweft and Carrier thrall for removal heavy deck
Behind the Scenes and Magmatic Chasm to finish against other creature heavy decks

or just jampack sideboard full of removal/ duress depending on your local meta

Khans sets aren't Standard anymore, I've no idea why this site won't remove them from the list.

I think you need more discard sources like Call the Bloodline and Tormenting Voice.

Also control like Fiery Temper and Lightning Axe never hurts.

First and foremost, thanks so much for your comment Bfrick2!

The only card I have in the deck from the khans block are the 3 Pitiless Horde's which are from the last set Dragons of Tarkir which didn't rotate with khans or fate reforged when SOI came out.

I did consider all 4 of the cards you recommended and I do still have Lightning Axe in the back of my mind if after a few playtests it seems I need some spot removal. I decided against Fiery Temper because of the double red cost as I'm only running 9 red sources of mana and I didn't want it clogging up my hand if I didn't have a discard outlet. Tormenting Voice was originally in my maybeboard because I do think it is very underrated but I decided this wasn't the right fit for it since I have such low powered creatures for the most part and 3 is the end of my mana curve so I felt it would slow me down most matches. Call the bloodline is another one I went back and forth on though but I ultimately decided I couldn't completely depend on the Gorger to really get good use out of it and I replaced it for the Infectious Bloodlust to put the deck over the top with aggression.

Yeah the khans block cycled out when SOI came into the Standard format.
