This is my version of the current Rivals of Ixalan Standard White-Black Vampires. The main purpose is, for most of the cards, is to get Vampires out as fast as possible, and drain the opponent's life total. That being said, there are some big standout cards in this deck. One of them is my copies of Profane Procession/Tomb of the Dusk Rose. Because of the card's powerful effect to exile a creature makes it a very good threat to some opponents who may rely on certain creatures to help them out in a jam, then when the card flips, I get the ability to get any exiled creature that the front side exiled, for the cost of using four mana (2+1W+1B) and the tapping of the land side. Another is my one copy of Tetzimoc, Primal Death. I use that creature as a very powerful beat-stick, even though I can use it's effect to reveal it, but I choose not to. I also included two copies of Bontu, the Glorified to help defend, and if possible, attack as a great finisher.
The lands are pretty simple. I take seven of each basic land (Plains and Swamp), along with four Unclaimed Territory cards, to use to cast vampires, three Forsaken Sanctuary cards, and two Evolving Wilds.
In my sideboard, other cards play key roles, in the case of certain scenarios. Aven Mindcensor is useful for those who may search their decks for certain cards, like the Forerunners that are featured in the deck, plus it's also a good flying creature, since every creature and creature token in the mainboard is not a creature with Flying. Some others are Gonti, Lord of Luxury, who can use his ability to take an opponent's card and exile it (face down) so you can use it later. Another two are Sphinx's Decree and Kambal, Consul of Allocation. Both are good for stopping the opponent from using noncreature spells, especially instants and sorceries (Decree), and also drain the opponent's life (Kambal).
If I were to make any changes to the deck, it would probably be getting the Concealed Courtyard card from Kaladesh to maybe replace a few lands that may not be so well put together, like the Forsaken Sanctuary cards. I might also try and splash in Green mana for cards like Journey to Eternity/Atzal, Cave of Eternity, and maybe Vraska, Relic Seeker. I may also try and get a few more copies of certain creatures like maybe Mavren Fein, Dusk Apostle, Elenda, the Dusk Rose, or (for a stretch) Vona, Butcher of Magan.
So, there you have it. If you think maybe some changes should be made to this deck, please leave a comment down below. Thank you.
