He also has a Blood Artist effect: whenever another creature dies, you gain one life and target opponent loses one life
By the end of it, you should be able to play a casual game, though youll need plenty of practice before you master deck-building and winning strategies
If you're sticking to the Vampire Aristocrats theme then the first cards I'd pick up would be Vampiric Tutor (finds Skullclamp and has Vampire in it!), Bloodletter of Aclazotz which doubles your drain / damage output on your turn absolutely wild, Bloodline Keeper provides sac fodder and a strong anthem, Legion's Landing nice thematic ramp, and Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord thematic ramp and removal
If you'd prefer the best, LP cards will run you roughly $80, followed lastly by NM copies hovering around $100
Discard down to your maximum hand size
