The vampires are coming and they're converting all those who oppose into bloodsucking nightmares, draining the life from their corpses and regenerating themselves as they grow bigger and stronger.

This deck is all about vampires, damage, and lifegain. Usually stealing others' creatures and swinging is good enough to get ahead while waiting to draw or tutor for gamechangers like Blood Tribute or Exsanguinate or Comet Storm or Savage Beating or Chandra, the Firebrand or Sorin Markov or one of the many other vampire creatures.

And then there's the win-con Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond + 1 damage to self or opponent = game over.

Another player ending combo Curse of Bloodletting/Wound Reflection + Blood Tribute. (which can be copied by Chandra's second ability).

Will probably re-vamp(ire) this deck again after SOI block. Any feedback is welcome.
