Vampire Control(Help Please)

by xrageandfearx on 05 February 2012

Main Deck (70 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.


Deck Description

I am trying to make a Black Blue Vampire control deck, but I have never been too good at making anything that is blue. So any help would be nice.


Also I want it to be at most 80 cards

Deck discussion for Vampire Control(Help Please)

I think the deck might be spread a bit too thin. Vampires do best in mono-black aggro with Lashwrithes and 4x Vampire Nighthawk and 4x Vampire Interloper. It's a bit difficult to rely on your vampires in this deck because they're too small and there's not much to buff them in the late game. Furthermore, only two of them have any sort of evasion (I wouldn't rely on Swampwalk). Captivating Vampire will have a hard time using its ability due to the presence of only 7 vampires in the deck. I'd ditch the vampires altogether and just go U/B zombie mill control, as the current environment has a lot of support for that. Relentless Skaab and Geralf's Mindcrusher hit hard, (since you run Dark Ritual this won't be a problem) and with Undead Alchemist you can mill a lot. (Mindcrusher mills on its own too). Undead Alchemist can produce explosive bursts of milling, especially when coupled with a Counter/Removal package of Doom Blades and Mana Leaks/Cancels/Countersqualls/etc. Jace's Archivist and Jace, Memory Adept will work well with Havengul Lich, so you've got something going there.

I don't want it to be a pure mill deck. But I am wanting it to have a few mill cards in it. So I am changing it up to a black with a splash of blue, and mostly vampires for creature. I want to actually cut down the amount of cards in the deck, but I want to keep the blue in just because it makes it more brutal in late game.
