Deck Description

All the cheapest vampires, some card draw, blade of the blood chief and decent removal. There might not be enough land in the deck, nothing aside from sideboard marsh casualties / kicked vampires bite costs 4 or more mana so it might be alright. At this point the deck is missing duress for wraths etc... and probably short lands but I'm not sure what to swap out... I would like to put the 1 costing swampwalk vampire in the sideboard as well for matches vs black. Black Knights are probably a good play vs white control as well but it's tough to say. Bone splinters might be better than the deathmarks in the sideboard.. not entire sure at this point. I don't think I'd main deck them but it might be worth considering since it works well with the blade.

The basic idea is to throw out really cheap vampires, equip the blade and then use a kill spell on something pumping the vampire then swing. Spread the counters around on your various vampires to ensure your opponent can't kill one guy to remove you as a threat.

Main Deck:
- The blade is part of the winning condition for this deck. It works too well with vampires to be ingored
- Child of night is controversial because she's kinda bad but if she's a 4/3 or 6/5 lifelink on turn four she's probably pretty good.
- Pulse tracker is cheap sacrfice fodder but also would be an alright 3 / 3 or 5 / 5 swinging each turn for an additional damage.
- Aristocrat with the blade gets +4/+4 for each creature you sacrifice. Him with the blade a bloodghast and a fetch land could see him up +12/+12 that turn without spending any mana and half of that sticks!.
- Nighthawks are just awesome and a 4 / 5 or bigger one would be awesome.
- Blood Ghast is great, when the blade is out it will seem pointless to block the blood ghast even with a first striker.
- Gatekeeper might with kicker is amazing removal vs walls of denial and makes good sacrifice fodder for later.
- Lacerator is cheap and great fodder.
- Soul stair handles all the recursion needed outside of blood ghast.
- Fetch lands help with the blood ghasts and soul stairs.
- Urge to Feed allows you to pump recently played creatures or a full board at the end of an opponents turn if they did not attack.
- Feast of Blood is good removal but almost makes me think its not right in this deck and should probably be in a sanguine bond life link deck...
- Sign in Blood should help to continue drawing gas later in the game.

Sideboard
- Hexmage in sideboard for plainswalkers.
- Vampires bite is to help gain life or kill something big.
- Deathmark is great cheaper removal when applicable.
- Marsh Casualties is great for removing tokens and pumping something with the blade equipped.

Where's hexmage? The card kills Planeswalkers which can be great.
