I would drop unholy strength for either Vampire Nighthawk or Vampire Nocturnus. The Nocturnus essentially gives all of your vampires Unholy Strength and the Nighthawk is a great card with deathtouch and lifelink, and also gives your deck a second card to work with sanguine bond. 30 lands is also a bit too high and increases the risk of a land flood. I would take out 4-6 lands, potentially just the dark depths, since a deck like this should never go late enough to bring all of the counters off of it.

I wasn't trying so much to win with the actual vampires. 30 lands may seem steep, but I've managed to play dark depths with out Urborg around those are nothing but dead weight without hexmage around. I considered Nighthawk at great lengths, especially with Sanguine bond in play, but still on turn one playing a dark ritual with 2 unholy strength and Lacerator still punches pretty hard. Would you rather a drop Nighthawk turn 1 or a 6/4 or at the very least a 4/3? I've used this deck a lot and i've got a 98% winning record with it. All that extra land just helps Sadistic Sacrament reach is height quicker with Dark Rituals. Besides, look at the Mana Curve, it's high, Sanguine Bond costs 5, Tribute and Revenant cost 6, Sacrament at its peak cost 10. Coffers, Rituals, and 20 swamp help insure you pull these large cards off. They are all mostly game enders anyway. Just try it out...
you sac the hexmages turn two to do it. It goes like this. Turn one: Urborg. Turn two: dark depts. Hexmage. Sac hexmage to remove all counter from Dark Depths. (Remember, Dark Depths is a Swamp when Urborg is in play, so you can tap both for black mana.)
nicely done. i like the dark depths vamp combo, but i agree with faceplant in that nighthawk would be a good addition. i also really like bloodghasts myself, but even without any additions, its a pretty solid freakin deck. well done
Dude sick nasty strategy!! 9/10

seems pretty good but id suggest you to remove a few land and add some kind of terror , feast of blood , disfigure . And yea like other ppl said vamp nighthawk would be a good addition as well has bloodghast ans nocturnus
That is a very powerful combination boss! I like this alot, I have nothing to add to this except Blood Tithe + Sanguine Bond would be nice. Very well done. You've earned my first 10 stars given to someone, gratz boss!
That is a nasty deck but I think that its made for a shorter game meaning that have 50% of your deck should not be lands. I understand having 4 of the same legendary land(Urborg) making the cable coffers all the better..... but really 50% anyway great deck
Nicely Done deck! the dark depths has a bit of a kink as if your opponent plays a spawn deck, they can just block it with a bunch of cheap 1/1s (no trample!). maybe splash red into a Seismic Shudder or just add some black Doom Blades then of course there is the problem of having 8 legendary lands: you can only use 2 of them. that means if you get them all into your hand, you've disabled your hand because 6 of the cards would cancel each other out. try cutting it down to 2 of each legendary, then pump up on cards that allow you to draw (or fill them up with the cards i suggested on comment above)
I very much agree
I love the vamp depth combo. sign in blood will let u draw cards faster..take out 4 legendarys and put in 4 of those i think.
lot of good combos but a lot of expensive cards. That dark depths thing is sick!
