Possibly try outMetallic Mimic and Cartouche of Solidarity to pump Adanto and give it first strike. You could try play testing it against my RDW to see how it might stack up against another aggro deck. Gone 4-0 last three FNM with this My deck:

I don't like Metallic Mimic in this deck because a) It's a budget deck b) Dusk isn't supposed to kill anything on my side, except maybe a Sanctum Seeker. I would maybe play Cartouche of Solidarity if I had room, but otherwise it's not impacting the game enough. Game 1 is rough against aggro anyways (especially red), but post-sideboard I would rather slow them down to my level with Authority and Priest than be more aggressive.

You could add Radiant Destiny

Unfortunately, Radiant Destiny is too slow. On turn three I could instead get a 2/2 Mavren Fein, Dusk Apostle that makes tokens or a tutor another Vampire with the Forerunner. Thanks for the suggestion, though!

Gifted Aetherborn is really hard to get on the board consistently. If it was it'd be in for sure, and I removed Arguel's Blood Fast  Flip because it's far too slow, and I'd rather get a creature on turn 2. I don't think that this is the deck for Exquisite Archangel, because it's way too slow. It's better in Approach/Control decks. Side note, Forerunner of the Legion is crazy with Mavren Fein, or to tutor a Sanctum Seeker, and I don't think it'd be worth removing for practically anything.

But Arguel's Blood Fast + Exquisite Archangel sounds really cool. If you make a deck that uses that, be sure to post a link!

Yahenni, Undying Partisan is too good to miss. It has haste and can be made invulnerable at anytime by sacrificing a token. It also just gets bigger and bigger.

Since this is an aggro build rather than a token build, I'd prefer to curve out with this deck, and I usually don't have enough tokens turn three to sac to Yahenni, so the invulnerability is hard to sustain. I'm currently working on a RIX Standard Abzan Vampire Tokens deck, and Yahenni would be better off there.

Thanks, AwesomeDude2471, those should really help! Forsake also hurts Abzan/Esper Tokens, who may be troublesome, by the way.

Unfortunately, I do not own this deck and don't play regularly, so instead you can share your results here, if you wish to. I'd be curious to see how well it lines up against tier decks!
