Deck Description

A vamp lifegain deck that's also pretty aggro. I can keep up with aggro decks because of the lifegain, and I can finish decks like eldrazi ramp with the life-drain. I decided to try hand disruption for my spells as I'm not quite sure what standard will look like, and prefer to take their best cards before they get to play them.

Deck discussion for BW LifeDrain + Hand Disruption

I don't think you need that much hand disruption but it is your choice. I think you should add some spot removal such as utter end (it take care of every thing. murderous cut, stasis snare.

Maybe if you put, two of each hand disruption spell in the deck and add 3x Utter End and 3x Murderous Cut that way if you can't remove it from you hand fast enough you can remove it from the board.

Soren should probably be in your main board and maybe even Ob Nixilis as well...your life gain will counter the lifeless of Ob Nixili's +1. So maybe 3x Utter Ends, 1x Murderous Cut and 2x Ob Nixilis

Just my thoughts.

Yeah, I know there's probably too much hand disruption. Thing is, I only got to playtest it with a few cards missing (replaced a few cards) against a friend. He plays weird decks like GW populate-windborn muse and RB bitterblossom aggro... I won every single time against Modern decks so it felt strong, but it had 4x duress, 4x pacifism, 4x harsh sustenance (good in my BW token Modern deck since I go wide, but horrible here unless it's used to hit face.)

Ob Nix, I like him and was lucky on bfz prerelease got him twice; one promo and one regular but I think he's slightly too slow at 5. When I playtested, I had 1x Sorin, and he was great so I guess I'll put him back.

Utter end, I generally keep as sideboard only since at 4 it's a bit slow. I actually prefer pacifism over murderous cut since I use it to stop aggro decks from putting their early threats, which Murderous Cut can't. Sure with Pacifism they can get it back, but who main decks enchantment hate?

So I guess -2xDepise, -2xTransgress the mind, -1xBrutal Hordechief, -1xLantern Scout, +4xPacifism, +2xSorin.

Thanks for the input, kinda had the feeling it had too much hand disruption.

I like Windborne muse as well, I own a playset bug don't use them because I use Ghostly Prison instead.

I think you are on the right track.
