Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Rakdos Vampire tribal deck built around Strefan, Maurer Progenitor and the Blood token economy. The plan is to make opponents lose life every turn, convert that life loss into Blood tokens at Strefan's end step, then sacrifice two tokens when Strefan attacks to cheat a Vampire out of hand into play tapped and attacking. The deck pairs a dense Vampire army with flying, first strike, deathtouch, and +1/+1 counter payoffs, closing games through compounded combat damage and incidental drain from Blood Artist, Sanctum Seeker, Crimson Honor Guard, and Sanctum of Stone Fangs. There are no deterministic infinite combos; the deck wins through snowballing board presence, Necropolis Regent growth, and a small reanimation package in Olivia, Crimson Bride, Haunting Voyage, and Bloodline Necromancer to recover from wipes. In a four-player pod, it wants several opponents bleeding at once to keep Strefan fed.
