A great, inexpensive intro deck that is so much fun to play, driving your opponent mad with flying vampires, rapid discards and madness plays, coupled with life burning instants! I love tribal decks, and this is a fairly easy, quick, and sinister deck to play.
With the right draws, this deck can inflict some serious damage quickly using low cost creatures, madness, soreceries, and instants. If you can get Olivia, Mobilized for War,
Olivia's Bloodsworn
, and
Heir of Falkenrath
, you have enough fliers to make heads spin as they watch you soar right over their line and inflict some serious damage, especially when you start pumping them with +1/+1 via
Stromkirk Condemned
or Stensia Masquerade. If all else fails, you can use
Elusive Tormentor
's unstoppable 4 damage every turn in order to put your opponent on a clock.
Ideal play to start: Turn 1, Falkenrath Gorger, a 1 mana 2/1 that enables Madness for all spells. Turn 2,
Heir of Falkenrath
. Turn 3,
Olivia's Bloodsworn
, Discard a card (Alms of the Vein or
Fiery Temper
) to transform
Heir of Falkenrath
into Heir of the Night, pay the 1 mana Madness cost and cast either Alms of the Vein or
Fiery Temper
while swinging for 3 with Heir of the Night, dealing 6 damage on turn 3.
There are numerous cards in this deck that I will only play if I can get Madness cost:
Incorrigible Youths
, Alms of the Vein,
Fiery Temper
, Lightning Axe, and Voldaren Pariah
, who is a great 3 card board sweep to transform her.
