I looked at demonic appetite and I thought Oni Possession was a bit better because your creature got trample as well.... however, I'm not sure either card has a place here considering my strategy relies on the demons coming out and im not sure an extra +3/+3 is worth having as opposed to some of my creatures or other spells.... if you can think of something for it to replace then I may be more willing to put it in.

I must agree with what boxy74 said... this deck seems very powerful but it has a lack of early game creatures/spells. Also with absolutely no Mana filtering you may get screwed for the late game. I would suggest adding either multicolor mana or Evolving wilds. Beyond this you should lower the card count to 65 as you will find that with 75 cards you will tend to not draw the cards that you want/need.
This deck has an interesting premise but there are a few main flaws. Firstly Simic Sky Swallower costs green mana and your deck has none which would make it difficult to summon. Secondly, although you only have a black mana symbol occurrence rate of 6 this does not mean you should only have 5 black mana, this could prove problematic if you draw one of those creatures because then the chances of you also having black mana is very slim. The Third flaw that I find with this deck is that you have a lot of high mana cost creatures making your mana curve very lopsided this could be a serious problem in the early and mid game as you only have a 2/15 chance of getting any creatures out before at least turn 6 or 7. I suggest you add mana filters (like evolving wilds) to make sure you get enough of the right mana, you should add some forests or get rid of the Simic Sky Swallower entirely, and you should probably add more low cost creatures just to protect yourself until you can get your big creatures out.
You make some good points here, but I want to be clear that by Hydralisk deck I mean a Hydra and Basilisk deck (Hydralisk is just a joke based on a unit from the game StarCraft). I believe the gravity wells and canopy covers will be pretty useless because although a full flying deck may be able to best me, most creatures (flying or otherwise) will be destroyed by my basilisk's deathtouch when they are forced to block due to lure. Vigor and Doubling Season might be good ideas if this deck was more heavily based on +1/+1 counters but i'd prefer to rely on my regenerates and such to keep my creatures alive.
Thanks, what do you think is unnecessary and/or needs to be removed?
Any suggestions on what I should Remove/replace?
cool deck.. Ive been thinking of building a Vampire deck myself. Only one question: Why would you use Golgari Rot Farms as opposed to more swamps or other better non-basic lands?
Why did you say your deck was green when it is clearly red?
I would suggest doing one of two things: 1. Put in more creatures. They don't have to be the most powerful creatures but should probably have a low mana cost, especially with the mutual land destruction cards you have. one specific sugestion is that you use some cards like Broodbirthing to give yourself an alternate mana source, and from there you have a myriad of possibilities 2. throw in a bunch of burn cards. This could be devastating to your opponent if first you destroy all of their lands and then you just start directly hammering away at their life points. The only flaw is that you have to be careful to have enough burn cards that you can defeat your opponent but not too many that you can't have enough land destroying cards.
Wow, what a terrible deck... I'm pretty sure it will not work at all and will pretty much fail at everything it tries to accomplish. You should just give up and go play Yu-Gi-Oh or some such shit. (jk, it works pretty well considering early stage fears)
Very cool deck, seems virtually flawless. Well done.
I understand the idea behind this deck and it seems like it would work. However, after destroying all of your opponents lands and a bunch of your own how do you intend to win?
I don't understand why you would use Lotus Petals and Chrome Moxs in an all black deck. Wouldn't it be easier and more efficient to simply use swamps?
