The purpose of the fetchlands is deck thinning. Anyway, its vampires really only for synergy with kalastria and bloodghast, and you get decent lifelink dudes for cheap, to counteract the dark tutelage. I played this pre-rotation for a while, and while not super competitive, very fun. With kalastria and bloodghast on the board, it prevents them giving you the idol back, so you get a free shock every turn. And, dark tutelage is for gas, as the decks mana curve tops out at 3. I've considered crystal ball, might cut the blade and deathmantle. They're fun, but not amazing.
