Getting Aggressive In Standard With Mardu Convoke Vampires

Reddit

Bloodtithe Harvester has been virtually stapled to Fable of the Mirror-Breaker and Reckoner Bankbuster for its entire time in Standard, as well as in Pioneer.

Bloodtithe Harvester

Well, I've got bad news Harvey, you're gonna need to find some new friends to hang out with!

May I suggest some of your own kin?

When you think of Vampire decks you usually think Rakdos or Mono-Black, but we've dipped into a third color here for a few exciting options that are pretty easy to play thanks to Secluded Courtyard and Voldaren Estate.

Dusk Legion Duelist
Knight-Errant of Eos
Edgar, Charmed Groom

Dusk Legion Duelist is a very exciting card that hasn't really found a home yet, but its synergy with the excellent Vampire Socialite is undeniable, as with Voldaren Thrillseeker. Even know there's only two ways to trigger it in the deck, they're both excellent and honestly the 2/2 White Vampire body has been more than fine thanks to wanting to convoke and other synergies. Knight-Errant of Eos is one of the best new reasons to play any White creature deck, while Edgar, Charmed Groom fills in as both a lord as well as a card that is universally good and excellent against removal heavy decks.

Markov Baron

And of course, you can't ignore Markov Baron, perhaps the centerpiece of the deck. Having a lord in your tribal deck is all well and good, but Markov Baron's unique set of abilities really sets it apart. Being able to madness off of blood tokens is phenomenal, and don't forget you can convoke and madness at the same time!

This deck has been a blast to play and done very well so far in the new format, providing a fast clock with good removal and a solid amount of resilience. If you love tribal decks, it's a great place to start in the new format!
