Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.

I'd love to offer up some advice. First of all what is your budget? Vampires can be spendy, but it's possible to make them cheap as well. Tell me that and I'll see what I can think of.

Welcome to magic! Congrats on your first deck!

Depends on how you want to play this. Vampire decks normaly try to be fast as hell (I have seen a single deck that was built for midgame-tactics) and if you wnt to do so, you can remove some spells.
Second question would be the legality. As you didn't tag any legality I assume that you want to play either kitchen table (where legality is no big mather) or modern.

That would be standard , and there are not many (good) vampires in this legality. The next one would be extended or modern.
So, do you want to play this deck fast (aggro) or slow and more controlish (midgam)?

The I would see that my deck has enough removal/ control spells, some carddraw, some creatures which help to protect you, and 1-2 finishers which will then defeat your opponent.

Either use "Argentum Armor" or "Grappling Hook" as equipment for your finisher
Sideboard "Elixir of Immortality" against mill/ discard
"Feast of Blood", if you feel that it's hard to activate this as you opponent removes many of your creatures, change to another point-removal spell.

-1 "Ring of Valkas", you will have more black creatures in here than red, and this one is only useful if used early
-1 "Staff of the Death Magus", to expensive with too little effect
-1 "Veinfire Borderpost", mana-fixers won't be needed
-1 "Anowon, the Ruin Sage", to expensive with too little effect
-1 "Butcher of Malakir", to expensive with too little effect
-3 "Rakish Heir", you will stay more defensive at the beginning, and your finishers should be able to do the job without support. If you want a alternative to this, try "Curse of Stalked Prey"
-1 "Unhallowed Pact", though good and cheaper than "Painful Quandary" I wouldn't use it because it can't finish the game itself.
-2 "Auger Spree", there are better point removals
-1 "Grim Return", you will remove the big threads in your opponents hand by discard, and only the small creatures by removal, so this will be too expensive to play.
-2 "Diabolic Tutor", you will get 8-10 finisher cards, so you shoudn't need a tutor
-1 "Disturbed Burial", not modern legal

+ 1-2 "Blade of the Bloodchief", good to strengthen your early defenders and utility creatures.
+2-3 "Ring of Xathrid", good to strengthen your early defenders and utility creatures.
+ 2-3 "Gatekeeper of Malakir", 'point removal' (your opponent can decide what he sacs) and blocker.
+ 1-2 "Guul Draz Assassin", good, but a little expensive (cc1+ cc4 for the first effect), removal on 2 legs.
+1-2 "Stromkirk Captain", buffs all your vampires and gives them first strike.
+2-3 "Painful Quandary", expensive but good finisher. Either your opponent cripples his hand further or looses life.

Some suggestions I would think about adding to this deck:
Duress/ Thoughtseize/ Inquisition of Kozilek, Extirpate/ Surgical Extraction
Dismember/ Go for the Throat/ Lightning Bolt/ Terminate/ Dreadbore
Sign in Blood/ Read the Bones
Ghost Quarter
Vampire Nocturnus (Depends on how many non-black cards you will have), Bloodlord of Vaasgoth, Bloodline Keeper

Decide for yourself which creature(s) you want to use as finisher: "Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief", "Falkenrath Marauders", Necropolis Regent"

I would increase the number of lands to 22 or even 24, and add some searchlands. Depends on how the colors are distributed.
