Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Cheat big vampires out early and begin to dominate while everyone is ramping. 9/10 you will be board wiped early so bring them all back with Lich-Knights Conquest. And if creatures are not staying on board, go voltron and swing with Strefan under the cover of darkness. Cant swing? Save blood tokens until you can or use them to draw to use exsanguinate. Very fun deck.\n"}]}
