Sawyerrr

Another creature that synergizes with the bloodline keeper

I don't know. Those are both really good, but I don't see the aggro to them :-\. Seems a little bit slow for typical aggro.  I don't know if the OP was wanting a vampire theme or an aggro theme more though.

Sawyerrr

Yeah haha. I mean if nothing else the list he has is good but drop The Lord of riots for aristocrat and maybe have it curve out with zealous conscript as one of those "just need a little more the get through and look what I top decked" lol. Just one tho I think

Silent1236

Yeah that seems pretty good.

It's aggro and the bloodline keeper is pretty essential in vampires..drop it before aristocrat and they HAVE to waste a removal on it, and if they don't they usually don't have one and then aristocrat hits, now you have endless sac dudes coming from bloodline keeper for the aristocrat

I do that in my rakdos vampire mid-range deck

Would you mind if I took a peak at your deck?

Here it is

The whole point of my deck is so I get out a creature and using  {Rakish Heir}, {Curse of Stalked Prey} and {stromkirk captain}, swing , then swing bigger each turn, or use  {Bloodline Keeper} to make lots and lots of buffed up flying tokens

@silent... My deck was all vamp themed with more of a mid range approach before I altered it and Tryed it more aggro. I was running...

-4 vexing devil
-2 rakdos
-2 Hellrider
+4 blood artist
+2 Olivia voldaren
+2 vampire nocturnus

-4 madcap skills
-1 dreadbore
+2 killing wave
+1 Liliana of the dark realms
+2 Bump in the night

@ teysa, I like curse of stalked prey, especially once you toss your heirs out, 4 1/1 counters a swing look good to me

Silent1236

Nocturnus will forever be my favorite card because of flavor.  Such a cool card. 

So you are going more aggro with it now, though?

Mike_garzone

I'm on the fence honestly, as I would like to play it in a standard event coming up. The pure vampire theme wasn't cutting it so I'm torn between bringing it to midrange or aggro. My meta sees a lot of control decks, hence
My switch to aggro but still not so sure.

Silent1236

Honestly, I don't really see tribal vamps being super competitive in Standard, however I only ever play Mono {B} vamps instead of {B}{R} for some reason.  I'd say aggro is probably going to be your best bet.  In my experience, that's going to be better against control than midrange.

I dunno, my vampire deck is pretty brutal. One of my friends who doesn't play very often borrowed it at our Fnm the other night, came 4th. So someone that was more familiar with it could possibly do better.
I don't even have falkenraths in there yet.

Silent1236

Huh.  Maybe I underestimated them then.  That's pretty cool. Vampires are by far my favorite tribal deck.

It may also just be strong in my meta.

So I got my hands on 3 aristocrats and another hell rider I figure I'll run 3 of each for my 4 drops. How does aristocrat run in an aggro deck without humans or more sac creatures? Should i make some additions to help boost her up?
