Getting back into MtG since playing in high school. Love the idea of a Rakdos vampire deck that can poke and gain back life (drain and gain). This deck is focused on life gain and ramping vampires with +1/+1 counters with the end goal of swinging with a massive Chancellor of the Dross + Demonspine Whip and boosted with Door of Destinies. I do have the infinite Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond but don't want this to be my main win condition, just really like the cards and think each one alone fits my deck design. Additional combo: Blood Tribute + Sanguine Bond

**Massive changes to this deck are being made! I finally got to take this to a commander night at my local LGS and have one of the employees go through it with me as I've known it's lacking effectiveness in multiple areas from card draw, card advantage, ramp potential, and consistency. I plan to create a new deck list since I am changing around 20 cards and changing the commander. I will keep this list up for the time being but will not be updating it anymore. Once I have completed the new deck list I will delete this deck or link to the redesign here. (Oct 20, 2023) **

Thoughts and feedback are greatly appreciated.

EDIT: removed Rakdos Signet for Abrade, removed Sorin Markov for Ceremonial Knife.

EDIT 2: Replaced: Rending Volley for Wretched Confluence, Bloodlord of Vaasgoth for Ambition's Cost, Nirkana Cutthroat for Victimize, Rakdos Guildgate for a Swamp, and 2 Mountains for 2 Swamps

EDIT 3: Replaced: Bloodcrazed Neonate for Voldaren Epicure, Falkenrath Exterminator for Bloodtithe Harvester, Vampire Outcasts for Bloodcrazed Socialite, Falkenrath Marauders for Belligerent Guest, Tragic Slip for Duress, and Rakdos Cluestone for Pyxis of Pandemonium.

BIG EDIT: changed Commander from Olivia Voldaren to Anje, Maid of Dishonor. My hope is Anje, Maid of Dishonor will help me draw through my deck more to get what I need out and hopefully then I can capitalize off of Liliana Vess more if/when I draw her.
