With the Magic Core Set 2020 full card list out, several posts from several websites I found online already have their full version of the Vampires tribal deck archetype. Most of the builds are on the Orzhov (Black-White) route as the mana colors are fully supported with the current dual lands in Standard.
The list that I am going to share today is the common lineup of these several lists I found online. These are the most popular cards played, coming from its Ixalan Standard days up to the present. See it below.
Creatures
4 Adanto Vanguard
3 Champion of Dusk
4 Legion Lieutenant
2 Mavren Fein, Dusk Apostle
4 Sanctum Seeker
4 Skymarcher Aspirant
4 Knight of the Ebon Legion
Spells
2 Icon of Ancestry
4 Legion’s Landing
1 Conclave Tribunal
1 Mortify
4 Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord
Lands
4 Godless Shrine
4 Isolated Chapel
4 Unclaimed Territory
4 Temple of Silence
4 Plains
3 Swamp
The new cards included from Core Set 2020 are Knight of the Ebon Legion, Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord, and Icon of Ancestry. The new version of Sorin will work all of its loyalty abilities well in the deck. The plan is just to aggro them, opponents, out before they can stabilize.
I think our card pool still has most of the card components and hopefully, we can build the deck this weekend and be tested by next week’s Standard tournaments. Stay tuned for my blog post on the playtest and matchup results. Also if you might have started playing the deck on Arena, comment below your insights on the matches you played and if there is any changes needed. I thank you in advance.
