Olivia the queen of seduction and destruction

Commander / EDH* BR (Rakdos) Vampires

3p1cness


This is my second EDH deck. I've decided to take the next two colors. Also because i cracked it in a pack of innistrad with 3 rates which is pretty amazing (foil Blasphemous Act which is in the deck and a flip Mayor of Avabruck   )

First off, Olivia Voldaren is a red-headed vampire queen who likes to hold parties and turn people into vampires in the process. for some reason she finds that stuff fun. Anyways quick rundown of what she does. she's a 3/3 for 4 with flying and her first ability she basically gives a creature a hickey, second she basically seduces then onto my side. thats pretty awesome.

Colors, we see that black is primarily used for removal, painful draw, and tutors. red is used for huge dragons, and damage. We mainly use black in this deck because 40 life is a bit of a challenge. I do like burn spells though.

Generally ( haha no pun intended) with the start, I wanna see in my hand a significant amount of lands maybe 4 3 5 is even okay, a killspell or two, and a mana rock. I mulligan pretty much anything else except for perhaps a one mana discard spell. The early game strategy is to slowly ramp up to olivia with lands obviously and some mana rocks, occasionally killing a threat with a killspell if necessary and hand disrupting. We play any of our equipments or creatures that give death touch and generally set up our card draw.

Once we get to 6 mana (mind the 6) we can bring olivia to the party. We like 6 mana because i want to get instant value out of olivia, and not just cast her to see her die without doing anything. With death touch, we can start shooting dudes and machine-gunning the board with olivia, or if we have 7 mana and no death touch, stealing the creature is alright. Conjurer's Closet lets us keep said stolen creature even if olivia is killed and we pack a significant amount of sac outlets so that olivia doesn't get tucked and they don't get their creature back.

How we win exactly is that now that we've stabilized the board with our machine gun olivia, we can bring in some dragons or some vampire lords. Or we just beat face with olivia or their own creatures. either works.. Blade of the Bloodchief pretty much gives us 3 counters per kill on olivia provided we have death touch. another nifty part of the deck is that we can temporarily steal creatures with Zealous Conscripts or Conquering Manticore and just sac it.

How do we do get these cards exactly? We have some pain card draw with black and epic tutors like Diabolic Revelation We can also stall the board till we get an answer with removal and discard.

Generally some problems I face with this deck is once again hexproof because olivia can't shoot the untouchable. those conservative guys aren't easy to seduce you see. We do have some wraths, but i could do with some more. naturally if olivia gets tucked it sucks, which is why i have so many sac outlets.

The deck budget is relatively low at perhaps $60, i'm still acquiring more cards to make it better. Suggestions would be great!
