Deck Description

Finally, a very cheap aggro version of my vampire deck :)

How to Play

Get your opponent to 10 life with a swarm of vampires, then overwhelm him.
Suck their blood!

Sideboard has some kill spells and a few powerful, but more costy cards in case you need them.

Deck discussion for Budget Vampires

I find it hard to critique due to it being a budget deck, but I can say that you don't seem to have very many heavy hitters at all which could be an issue. Nighthawk is great but he doesn't do much damage by himself.

The goal would be to use Stromkirk Captain and Vampiric Fury for a massive buff, thanks to cheap creatures you should be able to get a lot out of those 2 cards.
In addition to that the deck has a bit of life siphoning with Blood Artist, Vampire's Bite, Feast of Blood and of course the Vampire Nighthawk.

As soon as your opponent drops to 10 life you should be able to seal the deal.

However I added a few moderatly priced power cards to the sideboard =)

I think Bloodthrone Vampire would be a more aggro way to punch for the win after you have a horde out. Also Bloodseeker might be a great addition with Blood Artist to help dwindle down your opponent faster.
But I'm kinda with Orphic01's first statement... it's hard to critique a budget deck, but the two cards I mentioned are commons, so it should fit just fine via budget. I'm just not 100% sure what I would swap them for.
Guul Draz Vamp is great for the 10 life or less thing because of intimidate. I'd say Ruthless Cullblade could be replaced with Bloodthrone Vampire and maybe replace 1 of each Instant you have with a Bloodseeker.

The problem with Blood Seeker is that he only helps in a very narrow way, if my opponent uses a control deck he is pretty much just a 1/1 with a cute ability for whatever big creature they are gonna drop.

As for Bloodthrone Vampire: I don't like sacrificing creatures for one turn effects too much and also it gets +2/+2 until end of turn, most of the creatures are already bigger than/just as big than that so I would actually lose more damage in the long run.

But yeah I'm considering some improvements of course :)

This is just twisted. Wish it was Type 2 legal.
