This is a straight forward Vampire leech deck, with a bit of a twist utilizing Epicure of Blood
for a 5th turn drop to double the damage. Impassioned Orator
used to combine with Epicure of Blood, but I found that (in this deck) it was hindering the curve.
Cruel Celebrant
, Vindictive Vampire
, Epicure of Blood, and Vampire of the Dire Moon
are the main cards in the deck using Bloodthirsty Aerialist
and Thirsting Bloodlord
for defence. Ill-Gotten Inheritance
with Oath of Kaya
are the life gains in the deck, combined with Epicure of Blood allow for damage wtih life gain, ending the game with a sacrifice of 2 Ill-Gotten Inheritance on turn 8-10.
How to play? Going down to 6-8 health (Shock Land usage for first or second turn drops, taking blows from creatures) within the first 5-6 turns is no problem for me while I build up mana and the base of the deck, sacrificing creatures to block only when it is an absolute must and the flow is still in effect. Building up the Bloodthirsty Aerialist is a great defence as well as Icon of Ancestry
. Oath of Kaya is your direct damage with life gain card so do not be afraid to throw out duplicate to kill a target when needed, but there are 3 so be selective.
Throwing out the Celebrant (I wait for 2), Vindictive (again, I wait for 2), and Epicure (I usually have 2-3 on the board unless killed) creatures, backed up by a Icon of Ancestry and a few more creatures from early game, allow for an all out attack to zero out the life total of the opponent when they kill your creatures.
3 lands in your opening hand 31% of the time with 2-4 lands averaging 25% of the time.
1st turn: Vampire of the Dire Moon - take 2 from a shock land
2nd turn: Cruel Celebrant - take another 2 from a shock land if no regular land to drop
3rd turn: Icon of Ancestry or Bloodthirsty Aerialist - take 2 from a shock land
4th turn: Cruel Celebrant+Vampire of the Dire Moon or Thirsting Bloodlord or Ill-Gotten Inheritance
5th turn: Epicure of Blood
This is based on your draw of course, but can easily tick their life down as it builds.
This deck favors a Timewipe, Ritual of Soot
, or any other mass wipe cards, but having them in the deck is counterproductive, as once Liliana, Dreadhorde General
is on the battlefield, you can create and sacrifice creatures at will.

Magic is an elaborate game of chess, played with an infinite selection and combination of cards combined into 60 card decks. Showing your imagination and making "jank" non-jank, with balance across the curve is what every "True" Magic The Gathering Wizard should strive for.
My deck's are generally designed as "Toolbox" decks. Most of the cards work with eachother in some way or another. If you can understand the flows, then you can play as is.
If you have any quests, comments, complaints, additions, or recommendations... feel free to contact me.
