This is an attempt to improve my Eternal Vampires pioneer deck. Originally this revamp was made using Blood Token but the original inspiration was my 2016 life gain and drain EDH vampire tribal deck. This is an aggro Rakdos Vampire tribal deck using Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose to drain my opponent through the use of a strong life gain engine powered by my vampires.

INFINITE COMBO! Bloodthirsty Conqueror + Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose

NEWEST UPDATE 12/27/24: This deck is nearing it's final form I think! With the release of Bloodthirsty Conqueror this deck's main purpose is attainable - go infinite and drain my opponent of all their life! BC being the strongest part of the combo means he will be the main target with Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose close behind. Exsanguinate is a great sideboard option for an alternative way to close out games when paired with Vito. The deck looks to win on turn 6 utilizing a refined deck list packed with lifegain creatures, cheap removal, and card draw.

I pulled the Blood token "engine" and replaced it with more life gain and drain along with some stronger removal spells. The goal is to be aggressive even when mana starved with some high kill potential when land flooded. Although cards like Bloodtithe Harvester and other blood token generators and users were good and seemed to be helping me advance my game state, I still want this to be a deck utilizing my life points. I am hoping the changes I have made to put together this current list will be able to help me solidify my vampires as killing machines.
