I didn't get the Precon but I love vampires. My favorite standard deck was Vampires in the Zendikar block. So in the spirit of that, i've gone Mardu vamps with the most vampirey of vampires Edgar.

Mostly this deck is made up of things I have, with some acquisitions, and a few ones I'm still looking for marked in the Side bar. The maybe list is mostly things I have but took out for better stuff, with a smattering of things I want but don't have. Black Market and Exsanguinate are potential acquisitions for alternate wincons.

My meta is pretty casual, we often go to 15turns+ for 3 and 4 player games. Mostly people are playing precons or casual brews. I am thinking of taking this deck to a GP to play casually or maybe at a few commander side events, so I would like it to have a chance, but i'm not interested in turn 5 consistent wins or combos.

If you check out the Custom grouping option I have split things mostly between Vampire Cast Triggers, things that will proc Edgar, and other stuff. I like to play a bit toolbox+controlly even in aggro decks, so I run a lot of single target removal. I do wish I could get more vampires with deathtouch :P.

I run Aetherflux Reservoir even though it doesn't fit that well. It draws a ton of anti-artifact hate, but it is such a good bit of life gain, with an alternate wincon, and with the low mana curve of my deck I think it could do some work if it doesn't get insta killed.

Open to suggestions, though I don't have a huge budget to spin so while I considered splurging for a sword package I'm skipping out. That maybe gives you a better idea for the dollar range. :)
