This is the latest paper form of my battle-tested vampires, now with Red splash instead of the traditional Mono-Block. This makes it more agressive but with more damage taken. I have had them for a long time, and the deck has always been adapting and evolving. You can check out its previous Mono-Black version here Pagan Fears

Simply put, use a vampire army to obliterate your opponent, while gaining some Life back to balance inevitable losses

Main Army:

• Vampire of the Dire Moon and Gifted Aetherborn form the Deathtouch/Lifelink shock troopers
• Vampire Cutthroat is a sneaky one that does his fair share of damage and healing

Support Corps:

• Cordial Vampire feeds the army whenever something dies
• Vampire Socialite works like Legion Lieutenant, with the advantage of her power-up being in the form of counters
• Stromkirk Captain grants strenght and First Strike. Combos greatly with the Main Army
• Vampire Nocturnus has a high chance to grant a terrifying +2/+1 Flying buff

Non-creature spells:

• Fatal Push for spot removal
• Thoughtseize for hand disruption
• Sign in Blood for hand refueling or an extra 2 damage

Sideboard:

• Temporal Extortion can really turn the tables if played with timing. An overlooked card that won me many matches
• Dreadbore is deployed as more creature removal or a Planeswalker killer
• Relic of Progenitus nullifies graveyard strategies
• Gray Merchant of Asphodel is an alternate win-con that uses my Devotion to Black

Don't know which cards to add to complete my Sideboard this time, would appreciate some help!
