Casual vampire tribal deck with ETB Burn effects

Personally my goals for creating this deck is to create an aggro-lite deck that is fairly consistent to use against my friends who like to brew

The most important synergy in the deck is Impact Tremors + Panharmonicon + Purphoros, God of the Forge causing a 6 burn damage to each opponent per ETB, with things like Anointed Procession this can mean 18 damage per Vampire cast from Edgar Markov's Eminence

Lot of inspiration and lessons were learned from the following March of the Dusk Legion, The Ancient House of Markov [Primer],A Vampire Storm *Primer*, and Bloodline of an Ancient Coven

Game Plan

I will come up with words to put here eventually

Substitutions

• Sanguine Bond > Exquisite Blood : only one "blood" card at a time for lower power games

Weakness

• Big target: Due to the inherent nature of Aggro decks, it hard to find allies at the table when you have the scariest board at turn 2/3/4
• Low Mana Ramp: Currently I do not run mana rocks aside from everyones favorite Sol Ring, it sometimes becomes a problem
• Boardwipes: Teferi's Protection, Boros Charm help, but you can't block them all
• Stalling/card draw: There are only so many vampires you can have in your hand every turn
