The war between humans and vampires! Will the angels and Demons join the fray!? Ravos, Soultender *f-etch* must leave his partner, Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful to fight with the humans against the vampires. As the battle progresses and troops are lost on either side - what beings shall be unleashed onto the battlefield? And will Ravos make it back to his loyal partner?

pls don't kill the dog

This deck is the 2nd EDH deck I have constructed. I took a more fun approach to this, and built the deck around this idea of the humans fighting the vampires so I could see how vampires do in a white/black deck. The angels and demons seemed like a cool way to bring the deck's story to a climactic finale. There are 20 legendary permanents in the 98 plus Ravos to ensure Yoshimaru is always getting the opportunity to add a +1/+1 to himself. The deck relies heavily on the graveyard and runs lots of sacrifice options and ETB effects to capitalize off of Ravos' upkeep effect.

Any feedback is appreciated! I do want to be able to win with this, but that's not entirely the main goal so much as it is to get through the story concept by getting a big angel like Avacyn, Angel of Hope before/after I get a big demon Demon of Death's Gate or Shadowgrange Archfiend out.
