I like the deck overall, but is a bit slow. Consider a variant of this deck, with the concept of destroy, and adding the powerful mechanic fo tapping. Thanks for comment my deck, go to this link and check a deck of mine, it has a similar idea of yours and is pretty cheap to make. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=329086

That's not bad at all :) ... Eyeblights ain' worth it I think... Consider making it W/B with Gideon and it's Avanger & Lawkeeper.... May be W/B/U with "Frost Breath" & "Feeling from Dread"... May be Tamiyo, &/or "Sunblast Angel"... Here is a deck I think U'll like: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=346314

Add dark ritual its a must in a mono black deck and it would help some of your speed issues you could run icy manipulator instead of or alongside puppet strings This is my deck which removes as well or better then most decks designed to do it http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=347577
I'm not sure about icy manipulator because one of the reasons I have puppet strings is because if two creatures attack and neither have vigilance they are both tapped I might only have one royal assassin out I can kill one of the creatures but the other one gets throughbut if I have puppet strings out I can untap him and kill the other as well.
maybe only two puppet strings and put in something to replace it like go for the throat
I would say this deck is basically about destroying, this leaves you vulnerable to indestructible... but so are most if not all decks... You might benefit from some cabal coffers or possibly a little exile, maybe one or two at most of the Unmake card.... could help. I am on the fence about that blade cause it only will help your vampires to its absolute most. Maybe some Grave pact and the Kusari-Gama to help with tokens. With so much destruction it would be good if you had something to benefit from your opponents creatures dying, like reanimate or something to bring them to life of maybe something like Falkenrath Noble or Blood Artist that will life drain as things die cause the Sangromancer is just too costly and won't help with both, it will only give you life cause you don't have stuff to make your opponent discard, which is just over paying for a card.
And for indestructible a card called dismember or disfigure
I dont see why you post your deck everywhere asking for help, cause this dedk is awesome. Nice job. :) Alright i would drop big game hunter and strangling soot, the fact that you cant target any creature bugs me. And add at least two avatar of woes. I also would kinda make it a vampire tribal. Gatekeeper of malakir is good, and can be a chump blocker that will help either lower life or make your opponent tap to block, and when he's in the graveyard he'll help summon avatar of woe. Trip noose and icy manipulator are better than puppet strings. Also might want to concider thornbite staff expensive but will let you keep tapping you people to destroy them.
What would also be nice in this deck is some Basilisk collars. I have always loved the Assassin and puppet strings combo as I have been using that for a long time. Another card you could use is quietus spike. If you wish to see my Vamp, Assassin deck let me know and I'll post it up so you can see some ideas.
Hey, try having omething like Geth's Verdict to make them sacrifice their own creatures, this gets around indestructable, and try maybe geth lord of the vault to nick back their creatures if u wanna have more things to do with it, just an idea but good deck :)
The effectiveness of this is really going to vary by meta. If all your friends are playing big creature heavy casual stompy decks this is likely to do very well. The problem is that you dont really have any method of dealing with anything else. Hexproof / shroud / indestructible potentially all give you big problems. A lot of weenie or token based strategies are likely going to overrun you with little creatures faster than you can kill them. And most importantly, non-creature based decks wont even flinch. If your opponent doesnt rely on creatures, most of your deck just becomes dead weight.
how about I have kusari gama for tokens dismember for indestructible (or guul draz assassin) and nirkana cutthroat for hexproof/shroud.
those good?
It's certainly playable in a casual atmosphere. My point is more that it cant handle any form of alternate strategy. A simple burn deck like http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=340973 is likely to just roll over you. It feels like even mill decks would beat you pretty regularly. And a lot of combo decks will just go off without you having any way to stop them.
hmm... I see your point well I've re-thought about some of the problems you said earlier tokens and weenie I can usually deal with with a thornbite staff on a guul draz assassin(2nd lvl) , a royal assassin or a nirkana cutthroat (1st lvl) if I added a quietus spike then decks that don't rely on creatures won't really be able to block so would lose life quicker I've usually been able to deal with indestructible with a guul draz assassin (2nd-4th lvl) with a couple of puppet strings out. the only thing I've really been having trouble with is hexproof or shroud any idea's?
Rockslide Elemental would go well with this deck
I would but it's red :(
Final-Sting Faerie would do great with Thornbite Staff.
yeah, maybe instead I'd probably use orzhov euthanist but still.
Think of Endless Whispers too.
In a multi-player match the person who had their creature killed could give it to someone else.
this deck is pretty cool. Thats all I'll say.
try adaptive automaton
Tragic Slip?
that sounds amazing probably a swap assassinate for this or murder at some point.
rathi assassin?
I hadn't been on MTG vault for a while, and Ithought I should update some of my decks and make some more. lol I'm about to log on and I see the words assassin's creed in the second place for top decks and I just stop completely for about 5 mins! thanks everyone! :-)
The deck looks much better now! :)
thanks! :)

this deck looks solid. But if u are going to play with it in FNM it is outdated but still a good deck for play with friends.Just an idea of adding dark impoistor and the new stuff like that.
shriekmaw instead of nakrataal?

I'm going to add it when it comes out (tommorow ;) )
