The Vampire Deck

Vampires have not been that dominant in the Shards of Alara - Zendikar standard format but at least one copy of the deck show up in Top 8s in tournaments. If you're considering a deck this coming June for GP Manila, you may want to think about the Vampires.

Vampires certainly has weapons. Bloodghast is pesky, comes back when "Landfalled". Vampire Hexmage can kill Planeswalkers, plus it's First Strike ability, it is something to watch out for in the early turns. Gatekeeper of Malakir can check the board of your opponent when kicked and Vampire Nocturnus is a bomb. A new neat little combo with Grim Discovery and Tectonic Edge, you can even opt for getting that fetch back, certainly an advantage.

With the right choice of sideboard cards and good match-ups Vampires can surely get you past the first day and maybe even get you to the Top 8. Another deck coming soon. Enjoy.
