The latest revision of a vampire deck I've been working on.

This is probably the largest change as it no longer focuses on vampires buffing each other, but has more diversified threats with the extort from Basilica Screecher and Crypt Ghast, while keeping the most potent threat of a Vampire Nighthawk with the first strike from Stromkirk Noble . Meanwhile, the double mana from Crypt Ghast lets me get out Necropolis Regent early and enhances Rakdos's Return and Bonfire of the Damned.

I will probably replace Necropolis Regent with Olivia Voldaren at some point, but for now, she's a little out of my price range.
