Deck discussion for Vampires

I had more to say but I was going in circles a bit myself as to what I would do so I'm going to condense what I have to say and try to streamline it in comparison.

Murder, hate it cause it costs too much, it wastes a turn when you could be playing a creature which is more necessary for an aggro deck like this.

Vampiric Fury, and Rakish Heir. I like both of these cards however with Vampire Nocturnus I think they can be issues without a draw which I'll get to.

Necropolis Regent, cool, interesting, not useful here. It may be a vampire but it doesn't work well with other vampires 6 is too much when you could get a better effect with a Nocturnus or Bloodline Keeper.

Slaughter Games, don't know about it's use here, but I like the card so I'll leave it be.

In sum, drop Necroplis Regent, Rakish Heir, a Vampiric Fury, the 2 Murders and add 3 Sign in Blood, and 2 Dreadbore.

Dreadbore is really nice cause of the heavy use of planeswalkers in standard, Sign in Blood cause it's card draw which is nice for refueling later game and to remove a top deck red card to regain Vampire Nocturnus' ability which can be game winning.


I know this may not be your speed but I'm looking for some possible advise and criticism on my new deck idea which got no attention when it was on the newly created deck list: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=396647.

definitely agree with adding dreadbore, although I'd up to 4 of.

prob worth siding 4 mizzium mortars - you'll need them vs a token deck. Maybe take out murder and slaughter games for them.

slaughter games prob deserves a place in the side to begin.

Very nice deck overall, although I don't think vampires will really see much play in standard this rotation.

If you get a chance, could you have a look at my bant standard deck?

does the flailer have a place? also, i took out a couple of heir's and replaced them with blood artists, to have more black for nocturnus, they are 2 mana instead of 3, and i can take some life.

i kinda want to leave the Regent in. (they can waste a kill spell on it so i can swing with other things.)

and a 3rd Nocturnus over a Keeper becasue the effect is instant.
