Created: Fri May 24 19:38:33 UTC 2015 Design philosophy: As with any tribal: investigate what are the payoffs to play vampires, maximize the synergy gotten from them. Ensure you haven't forgotten any good (Cavern of Souls) tribal synergy cards by checking other tribal builds (Goblins, Zombies etc.) Legend: 1: part of the initial build (Created) +1: added/to be added to the build -1: removed/to be removed from the build ?1: maybe to be removed https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/hl-vampires/ 100 Mana (35): 1 Badlands 1 Blood Crypt 1 Blackcleave Cliffs 1 Dragonskull Summit 1 Sulfurous Springs 1 Arid Mesa 1 Verdant Catacombs 1 Wooded Foothills 1 Scalding Tarn 1 Polluted Delta 1 Marsh Flats 1 Faceless Haven 1 Bloodstained Mire 1 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth 3 Mountain 13 Swamp 1 Ghitu Encampment 1 Mishra's Factory 1 Mutavault 1 Wasteland 1 Cavern of Souls 1 Prismatic Vista 1 Blightstep Pathway Creatures (52): 1 Vicious Conquistador 1 Guul Draz Assassin 1 Guul Draz Vampire 1 Pulse Tracker 1 Vampire Lacerator 1 Viscera Seer 1 Indulgent Aristocrat 1 Vampire Cutthroat 1 Shadow Alley Denizen +1 Knight of the Ebon Legion +1 Valentin, Dean of the Vein +1 Vampire of the Dire Moon 1 Insolent Neonate 1 Falkenrath Gorger 1 Stromkirk Noble +1 Falkenrath Pit Fighter 1 Heir of Falkenrath/Heir to the Night 1 Olivia's Bloodsworn 1 Carrier Thrall 1 Bloodthrone Vampire 1 Child of Night 1 Asylum Visitor 1 Ruthless Cullblade 1 Vampire Hexmage 1 Vampire Interloper 1 Gifted AEtherborn 1 Bloodghast 1 Stromkirk Condemned 1 Kalastria Highborn +1 Nullpriest of Oblivion +1 Cordial Vampire +1 Bloodthirsty Adversary 1 Vampire Nighthawk 1 Captivating Vampire 1 Drana, Liberator of Malakir 1 Arrogant Bloodlord 1 Gatekeeper of Malakir +1 Veinwitch Coven +1 Callous Bloodmage 1 Stromkirk Occultist 1 Rakish Heir 1 Olivia, Mobilized for War 1 Stromkirk Captain +1 Florian, Voldaren Scion 1 Sangromancer ?1 Mirri the Cursed 1 Vampire Nocturnus 1 Sanctum Seeker 1 Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet 1 Bloodline Keeper/Lord of Lineage 1 Olivia Voldaren 1 Falkenrath Aristocrat Spells (13): 1 Entomb (Bloodghast) 1 Blade of the Bloodchief 1 Thoughtseize 1 Duress 1 Inquisition of Kozilek 1 Lightning Bolt 1 Chain Lightning 1 Demonic Tutor 1 Dreadbore 1 Vampiric Fury 1 Hymn to Tourach 1 Urge to Feed +1 Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord SB: Another option is to go for white: 1 Forerunner of the Legion 1 Bishop of Binding 1 Legion Lietunenant 1 Elenda, the Dusk Rose -1 Nighthawk Scavenger (Does not fix the deck's problems and does not offer relevant synergies to boost vampires) -1 Dark Ritual (no room for this) -1 New Blood -1 Phyrexian Arena -1 Liliana of the Veil (Good, but try to maximize the synergy from vampires first) -1 Terminate -1 Go for the Throat -1 Fatal Push -1 Ghastly Demise -1 Dismember -1 Malakir Bloodwitch (too expensive) -1 Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief (too expensive) -1 Anowon, the Ruin Sage (too expensive) -1 Markov Patrician -1 Bloodcrazed Neonate -1 Call the Bloodline -1 Arc Trail -1 Foreboding Ruins -1 Lavaclaw Reaches -1 Temple of Malice -1 Smoldering Marsh (basic swamp is better) +1 Voldaren Bloodcaster +1 Falkenrath Forebear +1 Cemetery Gatekeeper +1 Voldaren Epicure +1 Voldaren Estate +1 Gift of Fangs +1 Cutthroat Contender +1 Henrika Domnathi +1 Cut Down +1 Deadbeat Attendant (1 Balloon Stand $ 0.20 1 Bounce Chamber $ 0.20 1 Clown Extruder $ 0.18 1 Foam Weapons Kiosk $ 0.20 1 Haunted House $ 0.64 1 Information Booth $ 0.25 1 Pick-a-Beeble $ 0.25 1 Storybook Ride $ 0.81 1 Trash Bin $ 0.25 1 Tunnel of Love) +1 Ichor Drinker
