Vampires utilizing madness and discard outlets!

Ways to discard cards:

• Key to the City
• Furyblade Vampire

and some 1-ofs, like: - Stromkirk Condemned - Olivia, Mobilized for War - Heir of Falkenrath   - Hazoret the Fervent - Tormenting Voice

Cards with madness:

• Alms of the Vein
• Fiery Temper
• Dark Withering
• Asylum Visitor
• Stensia Masquerade
• Bloodhall Priest

Give every vampire madness:

• Falkenrath Gorger

How to benefit from emptying your hand:

• Asylum Visitor
• Bloodhall Priest

In this deck, you'll definitely do player damage through combat. Either with a trampling Furyblade Vampire, unblockable creature with Key to the City, one of the many flyers, or just simply playing an aggro deck with lots of creatures.

So, there are some ways to benefit from this player damage and lay on the damage:

• Drana, Liberator of Malakir
• Stensia Masquerade

Giving all your vampires firststrike (and +1/+1) help them to attack without fear of blockers. F.E. a Furyblade Vampire dies to any 2/2 blocking it. with first strike, and using its ability, it needs to be blocked by a 5/5 (or 6/6 with Stromkirk Captain) to die in combat.

So, there are ways to give your vampires first strike:

• Stromkirk Captain
• Stensia Masquerade

The Key cards in this set (forgive the pun), really are Key to the City & Furyblade Vampire. Key to the city lets you loot through your deck, make sure combat damage goes through, enable madness cards, etc. furyblade vampire is a quick clock. It's inefficient to have multiple on the board, but it can easily discard a furyblade vampire in your hand instead. These must definitely be 4-ofs.

Alms of the Vein & Fiery Temper help turning the discard downsides into huge cheap upsides in line with the aggro strategy. I'm debating putting another Alms of the Vein in, instead of having 3. It's a surprisingly strong common.

Falkenrath Gorger is a nice aggro 2/1 vampire, but its ability isn't super relevant, since i've found there are more than enough madness cards. that's why it's only a 3-of.
