My first attempt at this was Abzan Vampires Riding Indestructible Horses and it honestly isn't bad but I found the ramp and Vraska to come up far less often than I was willing to budge on the Token strategy, so here's a straight WB variant that runs a bit faster and maybe a bit cheaper.

Questionables

This is a short list of cards I included for various reasons and their arguments, I'd love some input:

• Queen's Commission is okay, making 2 tokens for 3 isn't the greatest, but it fits the curve for now and Call to the Feast at 4 mana is just awkward to play around when you want to land Procession on Turn 4
• Bishop's Soldier is just a bear with lifelink and a vampire to trigger Mavren Fein, Dusk Apostle, but that's pretty much okay here
• Glory-Bound Initiate is mostly here for cheap lifegain when Crested Sunmare is out, but I really like the card, minus the fact it's not a vampire.
• Vicious Conquistador doesn't gain us life, but as a 1 drop it's a bit better than GBInitiate above and I've swapped 2x in place to run because synergies in getting more Legion's/Mavren/Seeker triggers helps immensely.

Show-Stealers

I was super happy with the performance of these cards in playtesting:

• Crested Sunmare just gets STUPID with all the lifelink and Anointed Procession
• Vona, Butcher of Magan is incredibly powerful, move to attack and then destroy any threats. 7 life isn't hard to pay in this deck
• Sanctum Seeker is bonkers, just bonkers. Seriously my first FNM with this was dominated by this card triggering very often
• Mavren Fein, Dusk Apostle isn't as good as the above, but when you need more creatures onboard, he's your man. 4 of in the mainboard so you can attack freely, get the token and lose the Mavren only to follow up with Main Phase 2 Mavren.
• Legion's Landing   is just perfect, find ways to maximize it's use around the Legendary aspect and it mines a little extra value in interactions
• Arguel's Blood Fast was a surprise to me, but after playtesting it, it truly provides the much needed card advantage this deck craves when you get stuck in a rut. I'm contemplating bumping this up to 3x instead of 2x because of how well it performed and has the ability to bring us back when we're behind.
