Vampire deck. Has won tournaments in FNM for me, planning on potentially taking it to Gencon for a chance at getting into the midwest masters' series. Recent update: Won me an invitation to the WPN in Puerto Rico. We'll see how it does there.

What the hell? I'm sorry, but people who make a mono color deck, and for some reason add fetches for no reason make me sick. And I agree with fisherman, Kalastria Highborn is a must. Take out two blood witches and add 'em. Another thing. If you insist on fetches why not lose the life for something useful such as vampire lacerator, at least you lose it for one hell of a sexy 2/2. Check out my stuff? Comment for comment?
Dude, fetches accelerate the game. do you like to be drawing swamps when needing something up? ;)
Spuffles... You have never, ever, ever played competitivly EVAR! Have you? And no, Kalastria Highborn is not that good. Fetches... I don't wana' waste my time explaining that to you.
Take out the pulse tracker for 3 vampire lacerator. The pulse tracker will only lose 1 or 2 life be for it is dead and the vampire lacerator can take out a 2/2 creature on its whey out. You need kalastria highborn works with bloodghast i will take out 1 malakir bloodwitch, 1 guul draz vampire, and 1 vampire hexmage if you like other then that i like it.
Oh yeah, a competative Vampire deck does not need that many creatures... Take out the 3 Pulse Tracker, and 4 Gull Draz Vampire, and put in 3 Mind Sludge, and 4 Grim Discovery. Also, take out 2 Swamp for 2 more Verdant Catacombs.
Fetches in mono-black vamps do 3 things. 1. Deck thinning: They essentially pull 2 cards out in one draw, making me more likely to draw, say, Vampire Nocturnus. 2. They power up the bloodghast, because they are essentially 2 landfalls in one card. 3. They power up the Nocturnus. Top card is a land? Pop your fetch. Pull that land off the top, shuffle, and there's a pretty good chance of it being NOT a land that second time. I don't like when people just kind of TELL ME what cards to play. Try suggestions, they'll get more attention from me. I NEED the one drops, they are basically the heart and soul of this deck. This deck is focused on speed; with no one drops, it's slowed severely. As far as Lacerator, I used to run the lacerator instead of the tracker. Then I realized: The only thing the lacerator has on the Pulse Tracker is one toughness, and he's losing you a life every turn. One life every turn is NOT worth one toughness. As far as sign in blood, it's been in and out of this deck 3 or 4 times. I just can't really decide what I would want it instead of. I've tossed the idea of more fetches around, the main problem being: I don't have 2 more Verdant Catacombs, and I don't have the money to buy them either. Nobody has them to trade where I play, either. As for Grim Discovery? I'm not overly impressed. Yeah, it can pull a fetch and a creature back, but it's just not worth the space in the deck.
If you are going to stay aggro with little removal....... have you thought about adding a couple Basilisk Collars? On a first strike hexmage works wonders!
Little removal? 1/5 of my deck is removal. You must be forgetting that the Gatekeepers double as removal. Basilisk collar is good, but it's not black. I'm trying to avoid having non-black spells as much as possible.
Just wondering. Because a lot of this deck has very low mana cost, and you have the fetch lands, Would you not be able to get away with dropping a couple land? My vamp deck has 13 basic and 4 fetch lands and it works fine. I realise that tendrils runs off your swamps, but you could instead drop a blood tribute or vampires bite in. Both are very nice for damage, and life gain as well.
your so stupid lacerator is faster than then vampire tracker cause 2 mana or 1 mana it doesnt matter if you lose 1 life per upkeep do to the fact that if your deck is fast then your opponent should be on the defence after turn 2 for my deck the simplest way to kill you is to get 3 lacerators 2 klastria highborn and 2 land and then you could do nothing to stop me from wining cause i would win in turn 5 by doing non stop damage every turn and lacerator gets you to 10 life very fast so its ability should only afext you 2-5 times before your opponent is at 10 life nocturnus is a great card but if you depend on it you will lose do to that if you play it on turn 4 against my vamp deck by turn 4 your life would be around 6-1 even with amazing defence and i agree that most people need to shut up about puting lands in if you can easily see the person doesnt want to spend $20 for every land in every deck he has
Kyle... just...stop talking. I've read about 1/3 of that post and I'm already reeling from the amount of stupid.

Hi.... i wanted to ask you two things. i thought you could help me..: 1. Why not more lacerators instead of trackers? 2. Is duress a good card to put in a deck of vampires? Thank you in advance
I understand your mechanics of Pulse Trackers over Lacerators: 1. Pulse Trackers are a quick easy creature to get out that deals 2 dmg if they dont have a blocker. 2. If they do have a blocker, it still deals 1 damage upon declaring attacking; where-as if lacerator attacks, and is blocked... no damage is dealt to opponent. Think about it guys... you want to avoid losing life as much as possible, with 6 fletches in the deck... he'll be at 14 life with self-sac; not to mention the damage your opponent would be dealing to you (but that's just a worst case scenario) I dont think you'd need the lacerators in your deck at all Black, because by turn 4 you'll have 3 creatures + nocturnus = 22 dmg if you do nonstop attacking considering... Turn 1: pulse tracker Turn 2: pulse tracker - attacking 1 pulse tracker (2 dmg) Turn 3: Gatekeeper of Malakir (creature removal) - attacking 2 pulse trackers (4 dmg) Turn 4: Vampire Nocturnus (top card black) - attacking 2 pulse trackers + 1 gatekeeper (12 flying dmg) Turn 4 WIN
