Last time I wrote about a Tiny Leaders deck, it was pulled from a standard Commander deck. This time, I am starting from scratch with a card I have never used before, and building a Tiny Leaders deck around him.
Meet Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose (Image via Gatherer).
He's a wonderfully vampiric vampire. He doesn't just have Lifelink, he triggers extra life loss for an opponent whenever I gain life, and can make everyone I run gain Lifelink. This is very thematic for a black deck, so I need to build around him for extra benefits. As usual with any homebrewed deck, this is based on cards I own, and subject to refinement over time as I playtest the deck.
I used a strikethrough on cards removed, and set new cards in italics. This should add more life gain to trigger Vito's first ability.

What do you think? How can this be improved? Which cards don't fit the theme? How would you build this up to a full EDH/Commander deck?
You'll more likely win just a few Satoshis per hourly spin, but it's an easy way to dip your toes in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Referral link.
