Crimson Vow is approaching rapidly and the spoiler season keeps bringing us goodies! One card that really caught my eye is Dominating Vampire since it reminded me of another deck I built that focuses on stealing creatures. So, I decided that I'm going to attempt to use this card and Sorin the Mirthless to build a Rakdos Vampire Deck centered around stealing and sacrifice. This deck acts more as midrange due to the planeswalkers featured.

Strategy

This deck wants to put as many vampires out onto the battlefield so Dominating Vampire can take the strongest creature on the opponent's board. All of our creatures are vampires, so that shouldn't be an issue. Bloodthirsty Adversary is a great hasty attacker that can bring back spells from our graveyard. We have 8 total spells that either kill creatures or steal them.

Voldaren Epicure is a nice card that pings the opponent for a little and creates a Blood token. Falkenrath Pit Fighter is another excellent 1 drop that can get in for more damage and give us some card draw should we need it. Nighthawk Scavenger is a great flier that can get in some damage and gain us life back.

Immersturm Predator is present since he is a threat that can be hard to deal with given we have other creatures on out board.

For our Planeswalkers, we have Sorin the Mirthless here to provide us with card draw, vampire tokens, and can be a huge hitter with his -7. He seems like a decently powerful planeswalker. Zariel, Archduke of Avernus is as well an excellent choice due to her +1, giving our creatures +1/+0 and haste.

Bloody Betrayal gives us the opportunities to take the opponent's creature to use it against them. It also gives us a blood token to cycle a card with. Decent utility all around.

Win Cons

1. Swing with vampires until the opponent dies
