Deck Description

Lifedrain! And Sacrifice! ...and a Vampire Tribal... ...and Surveil-synergy?
This is getting too confusing.

I mostly use MTG Vault for my own private projects nowadays, but feel free to comment or request a deck of your choice. I've loved the Vault so far, and I like that they are still improving on it, as well as I am improving on my English language skills.

So, if you like what you see, consider checking out some of my other budget-y work from the link below.

How to Play

You'll have to wait for my BIG SURPRISE for a couple more days.
Believe me, it'll be good!

Combine several life-draining effects with surveil and sacrifice to produce surprising amounts of synergy. Creatures such as Oathsworn Vampire and Silversmote Ghoul will return easily after some lifegain, while Blood Operative and Whispering Snitch will provide you with both surveil-synergy as well as lifegain. Also note that the Sanguine Spy's effect has been errata'd to be surveil, so hurray for synergy!

Check out the sideboard for some alternative cards against alternative opponents.

Deck discussion for BD: Sanguine Surveillance

I like it. I have a deck with Silversmite Ghoul and use it to similar effect. Vermin Gorger has great synergy and I didn't know it existed. I like Reckoner's Bargain too. With how cheap your creatures are, you may want to consider Call of the Death-Dweller. https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=479598
