Sideboard


Midrange/Aggro Vampires with a Treasure theme

This deck can sit down at tables with combo players and not be guarenteed to lose. You run a bit of interaction and you can kill people very fast if they're not able to defend themselves. That being said, there are a lot of competitive Mardu cards that I don't/can't run. That and the lack of a real combo makes this deck easily outshined by true competitive decks. Of note, the "if you have your commander out" cards Deflecting Swat, Deadly Rollick, and Flawless Maneuver aren't in here because your commander costs WAY too much to just assume you can play him.

Generally, this deck needs three mana sources in the opening hand to play. You can afford to hang out and not kill people until the time comes. I will generally try to hold on to things in my hand and try to build an advantage waiting for someone to become a threat before I start flooding the board. During this time, you can tutor, get two to four bodies out, and start playing out enchantments. I wouldn't use my removal unless I need to. Usually your creatures can handle other people's creatures or just evade them.

The kill conditions are Shared Animosity, Sanctum Seeker, Revel in Riches, and Edgar Markov. I don't think I've ever lost after sticking Edgar. The classic Wheel of Fortune and Smothering Tithe combo can set you up for victory in a number of ways. There is another two card pairing in Necropotence and Vampire Nocturnus that generally amounts to a win. This deck is sticky and great at escaping wipes or recovering after them, but you'll always want roughly two vampires and two pieces of interation in your hand. There's not much else to say, it's vampires.

The tutor targets are: -Shared Animosity Captivating Vampire Vampire Nocturnus Necropotence Wheel of Fortune Smothering Tithe Damnation Predators' Hour Champion of Dusk Sanctum Seeker Patron of the Vein New Blood Black Market Connections Skullclamp Teferi's Protection Mana Crypt Cavern of Souls Command Tower
