Deck Description

My current main deck. Just putting it here for some opinions. It has proved lethal in many a game. I've considered taking out the Contagion clasps,2 Bloodghasts. The only problem is getting them.

Deck discussion for Vampire/Life Drain

hey man, i love vampires, and in fact, my main deck is a vampire deck. just started playing a little while ago, but here's what concerns me bout your deck. You have a lot of high mana cost cards - Drana, Anowon, and Kalitas, corrupt, blood tribute, and rise from the grave, plus Sorin and Liliana. And you only have 20 land. I'm just not seeing how this all comes together on paper. Could be a completely different story when you play. 14 cards cost at least 5 mana and then Exsanguinate benefits from having more mana - so 15 cards.

I do understand the theme of your deck and the addition of cards like corrupt and blood tribute. It adds to the whole life suck - life gain concept
I personally would cut the number of high cost cards down quite a bit. Also, assassinate is cool and all, but for 3 mana you could do better. Terror, Doom Blade, and Feast of Blood only cost 2. Plus you can instant with terror and doom blade, and gain 4 life with feast of blood. feel the same way about hideous end, but that one is more your call - you know the deck much better than I do.

So I guess in a nutshell, reduce the big cost cards, throw in a few more creatures (nighthawks, captivating vampire, etc.). Just a little friendly analysis. Hope this helps

P.S. I'm right with you on the Bloodghasts!

I appreciate your input, I actually phased out Death's shadow and PoU tonight for some Captivating vamps.

I know the mana seems off, But I was actually way mana flooded with any more mana than this, it works out fine all the time, surprisingly enough.
