Thanks so much for the feedback, Ill have to scan through prior EDH lists. I had decided not to include exquisite blood just because of the cost and infinite combo -- Gratuitous Violence looks like a great fit, thanks!
Hey everyone, its been a while since i've played MTG. I came here to ask for some advice in crafting two separate decks: a tribal mono-black vampires deck and a tribal mono-red dragons deck. The format for both decks is Canadian Highlander (100-card singleton), and the power-level is causal play with friends. With that in mind, the main goal I had in deck building was (1) I wanted the decks to be fun to play with/against, (2) I wanted the decks to be as thematic as possible without sacrificing too much functionality, (3) avoid using cards priced over 10$ (unless already owned), and (4) I wanted the power level across both decks to be relatively equivalent/even. Please let me know what you think about the decks, and your thoughts for improvement.
