Vampiric Liberation [Monoblack EDH] (EDH / Commander)

A deck of middling power and maximum flavor...! Drana seeks to liberate her people from the oppressive spells of blue and green; will you join her...?

This deck has two axes of attack:

• Tribal vampires, led by Drana, whittle down the table and play the value/control game. You're not very threatening, so you can take advantage of political strife.
• Big mana and X-costed spells to finish the game. If we can get out Cabal Coffers, Cabal Stronghold, and/or Nirkana Revenant, we can finish off a weakened table with Exsanguinate and Torment of Hailfire.

The vampire strategy is weak to boardwipes and better creatures (;-;), while the big-mana strategy is weak to permission (counterspells).

This deck can't compete with fine-tuned combo machines, but should hold its own at a table playing fair Magic.

We've also got the sneaky combo of Vampire Hexmage or Thief of Blood + Dark Depths. It'll rarely be the winning play, but it's always a sweet play...!

Don't forget that Hatred works extra well with commander damage; you only need to pump Drana to 20 power, not 40!
