In this episode, we go for the last and most-out-there Challenger Deck: Rakdos Vampires. I honestly don't remember seeing this as a meta deck, but the addition of Voltaic Surge and Oni-Cult Anvil did make this more interesting against aggro.

Alas, I ended up against every conceivable control deck. That will explain why this video is so long...

RECOMMENDED ADDITIONS:
If my matchups are anything to go by, more planeswalker removal is a good idea. Still not sure how good the Oni-Cult Anvil interaction with Blood tokens are, but I would at least keep them. Upgrading the mana base is also a great idea.
