MTG Salvation

The current decklist:


Cards I want to add:
Cabal Coffers - Awesome card. A little difficult to find.
Grave Pact
Damnation - $$$. I could buy one at a store nearby, but it's an unopened promo so it's more expensive and I'd feel bad opening it.

This deck is pretty close to as good as I want it to be. I'll basically just be adding vampires as new sets come out from now on.

Well, if nobody is going to talk to me then I'll talk to myself.

I feel like adding Nameless Inversion in case someone has one creature out and it's a vampire. Or if they ever print a vampire card that would care about vampire tribal instants or sorceries. I'm sad this is really the only good black changeling card.

Kalitas, Bloodchief of Ghet is definitely out, as soon as I find something better. Anything, really.

No Grave Pact?

Diabolic Tutor to fit with the budget/hold a place for Demonic Tutor.

Obviously the new M11 Captivating Vampire.

Surprised by the lack of Bloodrite Invoker and Soul Collector.

Oh, and you might also benefit from a Hex.

Expect your general to die. A lot. Run some acceleration so's you can play him good and often. Cabal Coffers and regular land drops will ensure that you can always play your general, even if he gets iced every turn.

Surprised by the lack of Bloodrite Invoker

Is that really all that good in EDH? I would expect it to be kind of meh.

This deck is kind of on a budget now that I've got a bunch of other EDH decks I'm working on that interest me more (Bosh is going to love Scars!). I'm going to update the list to the current one in a few hours. I've got Captivating Vampire now, but that's the only difference I can think of. And Diabolic Tutor. I'm still working on the Cabal Coffers and Grave Pact, but they're a little hard to find.

Updated to Decklist 1.1, older decklist archived here

Black Market seems like a nice fit, particularly considering the number of creatures that'll be going down.

Definitely acquire those Cabal Coffers, while you're at it you may want to include the Vesuva, Cabal Coffers, Deserted Temple acceleration package.

I'd prefer not to get that serious about Cabal Coffers just because of my playgroup. I've got a friend who does that, and it gives him kind of a bad reputation. That's just me, though.

Quote from Prince Tristan

Umbral Mantle should go well with your Magus.

That's hilarious, but I'm not sure if I want to take a spot out for this combo. I'm looking for a little more aggro than crazy cabal coffers combo. I'll suggest this to my friend though, because he's not afraid to do stuff like this.

I'm updating this decklist soon, so this is the older version for posterity:


Recent inclusions haven't been particularly awesome but I have gotten my hands on a Mutavault, replaced Disfigure with Dismember, grabbed a Syphon Mind, and now have a Sangromancer. I'll likely be waiting until after the M11 prerelease but that's spoilery information so I won't be mean to you people who want to be surprised.

And updated! A pretty good amount of changes. I've finally caved to the awesome power of the Skullclamp/Bloodghast combo, also because those 2/1 weenies aren't too useful lategame. Probably no updates until Innistrad gives us more vampires.
