Standard vampire deck I think. This deck tries to take advantage of how quick vampires are to deal out the damage for the short game. Vampire Nighthawk, Gifted Aetherborn, and Vampire of the Dire Moon are great cards to get out early on the attack. Deathtouch and lifelink will give a health advantage as well as perturb the opponent from losing any significant creatures. Captivating Vampire, Vampire Nocturnus, Necropolis Regent, Bloodlord of Vaasgoth, and Cordial Vampire should push the strength of your creatures to the advantage as well if the game lasts too long.

There is a large presence of deal damage and gain life scenarios thanks to typical vampire mechanics with life link. For long games (such as multiplayer), corrupt should be subbed in and can start turning the game. That is a minimum of 6 life lost and 6 gained. On top of this, there are plenty of spells to destroy your opponent's creatures as well as save/salvage the one's you got.
