Another Carmen Deck... *CLICKBAIT* (EDH / Commander) [Revision 27]

Many people would say Carmen is the better Commander choice for this deck, I disagree. Carmen is very strong and quick to build, with so many sacrifice triggers and token creation, but at 5CMC, one spot removal and your buildup is gone. Carmen's sole trick is to buff themselves. That's pretty easily dealt with.

Clavileno, on the other hand, on top of forcing your opponents to play chicken, gives you utility in return. You get a threatening board state and utility, for 3CMC. I think swinging wide with many medium powered creatures will always be more overwhelming than swinging with one or two really huge creatures. And that's what this deck will do, swing wide and swing hard.

Not to mention all the potential this deck has for drain life triggers and additional trigger abilities. Plus you have all your sacrifice outlets combo'd with grave pact gives you the ability to wipe your opponents board with just a few tokens. If all else fails you've got your infinite combo and 3 outlets to trigger it. If THAT fails, you have lilianas contract as a win con. There's just so much potential with this deck with all you can do.

This deck is all gas, aggro, aggro, aggro!

Very quick to build up an army, get Clavileno out turn 3, pretty much 99% of the time, and have your little dorks swing at enemies. Force them to make the decision of either allowing 1-2 damage through, or giving you a 4/3 flying vamp demon AND card draw.

Either way they're pinched. You get free swings, or free card draw and a big beefy flier. Only gets worse for the enemy the more vamps you play.
