Blood Rites

Format: Commander

Commander: Clavileño, First of the Blessed

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Clavileno, First of the Blessed leads a black-white Vampire tribal deck that wins by attacking with a wide, self-replacing board and stacking global drain triggers. The commander turns any attacking Vampire into a Demon that draws a card and creates a 4/3 flying token when it dies, so every assault funds the next one. Secondary plans use aristocrat sacrifice loops with Blood Artist/Cruel Celebrant/Falkenrath Noble and token production from Mavren Fein, Elenda, and Glass-Cast Heart. Sanctum Seeker is the primary finisher: many attacks drain every opponent. Exquisite Blood and lifelink tokens keep the life total high, while Etchings/Kindred Boon protect the squad.
