So my brother aske dme to toss the list up so he could see it so here goes...



I know it needs some work, and I really didn't notice till I was writing up the list how few lands I was running. So some thinking needs to go into it for what to cut for some more land, about five or so cards I am thinking...just not sure what....

Lands you should look to add:
Phyrexian Tower
Lake of the Dead
Shizo, Death's Storehouse

Creatures: I like your list. You might want to consider making room for Vampire Outcasts, Grandmother Sengir and/or Blood Seeker, but you're fine where you are.

Spells: I would add Sorin Markov and more mana-efficient tutors, if you can afford them. I run Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor and Beseech the Queen in my Vampire deck. I would cut Exsanguinate and Consume Spirit, I think there are better things you could be doing with your mana then hitting one player for direct damage. Other cards to consider: Victimize, Yawgmoth's Will, Blood Tribute, Do Or Die, Buried Alive and Diabolic Edict.

As for artifacts: You are running a tribal deck so you need at least one if not both of Door of Destinies and Coat of Arms, either of which are much better than Bad Moon. Quietus Spike is a nice, inexpensive piece of equipment to add as well.

Volraths stronghold, gate to phyrexia, and tutors need be included, look also at oversold cemetery since your running quite a few creatures. Deck looks alot of fun to play. Test some and let us know the results.

I almost forgot you might want to look for some more card draw. Promise of power is a beast. Sorin would fit your trial theme and be a hammer coming in with his minus ability right off the bat.

Obviously I can't speak for the OP, but this is the deck I've put together which has done very well in the games I've played it.

List looks alright, not a big fan of one time effects like dark ritual. That card is not what you wasnt to draw late game with alot of mana already on board. Again I'd rather have more card draw.

Phyrexian arena nets alot of cards.

I would include more "returns all creatures from your graveyard to play" effect, because lots of vampires + Malakir Bloodwitch coming into play at the same time = very swingy. You don't even need vampires if you include Mephidross Vampire.

I would cut Adaptive Automaton. It just does not do enough for the deck.

We used to run an Anowon deck at our house, but turned it into Ob Nix. Have not tried Anowon since the new set came out.

It That Betrays and Triskelion are both good cards and I understand the synergy they have with the deck, but you'll have to sacrifice them at the beginning of your upkeep unless you have Mephidross Vampire out. Screeching Bat will also have to be sacrificed too unless you flip it, which means you're basically paying seven mana for a vanilla 5/5.

^ Yeah... I had considered running a few non-vampire creatures in my deck (Adaptive Automaton and Dread to name a couple) but decided against it. That's a good point I hadn't considered about Screeching Bat... I'm going to cut it in favor of Guul Draz Assassin.

Thanks for the advice in this thread... I'm also going to cut Dark Ritual and Grave Pact in favor of Phyrexian Arena and Oversold Cemetery.
