UPDATE: With SOI rotating in and Khans/Fate rotating out, the deck has been tweaked a little bit. The only significant card we lose to rotation is Brutal Hordechief. I've now added Gideon, Ally of Zendikar and Sorin, Grim Nemesis, which should give some extra push to the deck. I am also experimenting with using Foul-Tongue Shriek instead of Vampiric Rites. Shriek would essentially be a one-time Hordechief. The sideboard has been tweaked to represent my local meta a bit more--it can easily be customized. In all other aspects, the deck functions the same.

END UPDATE

A black/white deck focusing on vampire allies and lifegain, and rally. The purpose I am going for is to slowly drain away the opponent's life total, using lifegain to keep myself in the game, and buffing up my creatures to attack and seal the win. Any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated!
