A re-hash of an old deck of mine based around... GOATS!!! That's right. Making goat tokens and sacrificing them for Vampires People WILL laugh at you when you mention the strategy of this deck, until you beat the crap out of them
Get out a Trading Post as fast as you can. Then sacrifice them to buff your vampires A side strategy is to keep on populating them, gaining life and buffing Pridemate No matter how you play, Trading Post is the key in here If played correctly, the deck will produce 2-4 Goats A TURN which are then either buffed to be 3/4 (at the weakest), buff a Pridemate and your life total and/or making a Vampire stronger

More Goat producers:Springjack Pasture (also a sac outlet)Springjack Shepherd (counts its own white mana for Chroma, so at least 1 goat for itself)Also, my group once found a card that we dubbed "The Goat King": Doran, the Siege Tower. With Doran out, those fluffy 0/1's start doing damage. Had one guy die to the fluffies because of Doran :P

Doran does seem like a good idea for the deck, however I have all the buff I need. At the moment, I am using Sorin, Lord of Innistrad instead of Solemn Visitor. Also, when I drop Collective Blessing is usually when I win with an army of about 5-10 3/4 Goat tokens Pasture is too much mana for a single Goat, and I'm not using any real devotion so Shepherd is only good for 1 use
Definitely an interesting concept, and I can see where it'd be underestimated. Personally I'm not a huge fan of growing ranks, just because I feel like parallel lives or doubling season might be better? Other than that, seems like it'd be fun to play, and play against.
I already had some Growing Ranks at home and they seemed good because I didn't need any mana to get more tokens. If they have artifact removal/tapdown then Growing Ranks will keep on making them for me
ive made a similar deck build using wurms before. how fast can you start getting goats out? it looks like it might be turn 3 at earliest. also maybe consider altar's reap for card draw?
Normally the Goats appear at about turn 5 IF I have Trading Post in my opening hand, enough mana........ The usual stuff. After that though, the deck is hard to stop I hadn't considered Altar's Reap or any draw really. Although it does seem like a good SB car for here
It never hurts. Sometimes you really need the draw, especially if your opponent is playing discard
I love the deck. How do you win more, by a bunch of tokens and vampires with collective blessing or just slow pinging with the vamps?
Usually an overbuffed Pridemate. Somehow, I can't seem to get out my Vampires to sacrifice the tokens lately. But out of the two you have, the Collective Blessing one is more accurate. There are 3 ways to win in here that are easy enough to pull off: --> Goats + Collective Blessing --> Buff a Pridemate; done by making Goats with either Suture Priest or Healer of the Pride out --> Vampire sacrificing and buffing. More effective with Blood Artist out Just combine any of these or use only one of them
Oh yeah, I forgot about the pridemate. My friend has one in his lifegain deck and it is brutal. You seem to have enough sacrificial vampires - you must just be getting unlucky. However, you could always swap out a healer of the pride for another one.
Nah. The life I gain from them makes me nearly unbeatable and it helps when they are the only life gainer out because even of I only have 1, then that's a life or 2 every turn depending on how many posts/ranks I have
I'd take out healer of the pride for either Soul Warden/Soul Attendant, cheaper and they work off of your opponent's battlefield as well. Like the deck though, really original and novel idea.
Some days you simply need Healer of the Pride because you need to recover your life and if you have Warden/Attendant, your life total stays the same with Trading Post but with Healer you gain a life and have a 0/1 token. Not to mention that Warden/Attendant are only as useful as Suture Priest when they don't play any creatures. Decks without a lot of creatures are pretty common where I playHowever, if you want some in an SB then I would highly encourage it
That makes perfect sense if your meta is less creature intensive, so Warden/Attendant's all encompassing effect wouldn't benefit you greatly. The only reason I brought it up is that I actually play tested this deck (with proxies) and found it a bit slow out of the blocks, and if I didn't draw a Trading Post by T4 it was pretty tough sledding. I'm a casual player though, so perhaps I did not fully understand the intricacies of the deck Have you played this competitively and how have you fared with it? Do you have any tips on using the deck optimally when you don't hit the draws you need to get the goat factory pumping?
Give up and start a new game. I am only a casual player too, but I would recommend putting draw into the SB
That would help I think, something like Night's Whisper be nice for an early game boost. I also stumbled across Springjack Shepherd while working on a Kithkin deck, it's a 4 drop but could be interesting in your set up.
