"Listen to them, the children of the night. What music they make!"

A vampire deck that I made originally out if some extra cards I had laying around. However, after trading with a few friends to snag some of the better ones, I realized this deck had some very strong potential. In return, I decided to drop some more money into the deck for multiples of cards that were working well. And this is the result.

The main principle of the deck is to attack, attack, and attack. I picked the vampires for one of two reasons: their raw attack potential (based on number of counters they can gain and passive abilities) or their ability to help control the board. All my non creature spells are used to either help ping the opponents and/or creatures, or to benefit my own creatures.

I don't have specific combos, I'm not really a Johnny player. Rather, I just enjoy having a deck that is synchronized and works well as a whole. Not that I don't enjoy crazy combos, but that I just enjoy a deck which doesn't require those combos.

I could also use help with the sideboard. Since this deck is relatively new, I don't know what should be moved to sideboard and what I should add there.

Any and all comments, upvotes, and criticisms are appreciated. If I don't follow your advice, I apologize. But I use this site as a way to either confirm my own ideas or to help create new ones. Not to say that the advice is bad, but that I do know what I want and don't want. So please don't be offended if your advice isn't used. Don't let that discourage you from offering it though! Thanks to all who do help.
