Deck discussion for Anowon's Vampire Army-EDH

38 is a lot of creatures in a deck with no gimmicks to play multiple things at once, etc. You're just asking to overextend, lose them all to a board wipe, and be out of gas. I'm not sure I have any deck with over 28, and that's my "creature heavy" deck. My vamp tribal is rocking 20 I think (http://www.mtgvault.com/doctorhydrogen/decks/drana-bloodchief-edh-3/).

You're going to need more removal imo or someone is going to drop some really annoying creature and you'll be stuck staring at it, hoping they don't play anything else so you can force an Anowon sacc next turn. I'd find a slot for 2-3 targeted removal spells, at least one of which can hit indestructible guys. Go for the Throat and Hero's Downfall are a decent start. Ashes to Ashes and Sever the Bloodline both exile so they hit indestructible guys.

A few more board wipes would be nice. Nevinyrral's Disk is good because it's one of the few ways you have to deal with artifacts and enchantments. Mutilate is good too.

You could probably cut a few lands. 40 is a lot in a mono-deck. I'd start at 38, and drop to 37 or 36 if you find you're comfortable.

Myriad Landscape is a nice way to ramp a land. Well worth a slot, imo.

Cabal Coffers is stupidly good in mono-black, though it is a ten dollar card. IMO it would be the first upgrade I'd invest in.

Really any mana doubler is good. I'm using Caged Sun, Extraplanar Lens, Doubling Cube, Gauntlet of Power, and Nirkana Revenent, and if I wasn't a stickler for theme I'd have Magus of the Coffers and Crypt Ghast in too. You can never have too much mana.

Or draw! You need some draw or you'll run out of gas. You can't draw too many cars. Anyone who says otherwise is probably a criminal mastermind out to ruin your deck. Necropotence is the best in mono-black, but again it's a ten dollar card. Greed would work okay, and I'm a huge fan of the black small-draw effects (Read the Bones, Sign in Blood, Night's Whisper, Ancient Craving, Ambition's Cost). Draw, draw, draw!

Demon's Horn and Staff of the Death Magus aren't ever going to gain enough life to justify a slot imo. If you want another life gain source run Whip of Erebos. It'll probably gain you more life AND it has extra utility.
