No Olivia? She's an auto include if you're in red. She can single handedly dominate a game if they don't have an immediate answer.

You'd probably be better off with some more red vampires, fewer total creatures and more removal.

4x Lightning Bolt at a minimum IMO.

Optimal and Tribal tend to be contradictory terms generally.

Thanks for the feedback,

Olivia is a great card, and she is actually on my sideboard. In this deck she is far weaker than Aristocrat though and adding additional 4 costs would wreck the mana curve.

I could pull the Nocturus and replace them with Olivia's but that depends on how you're playing the deck. In strait beat down Nocturnus is superior. If you need control Olivia would be better. I only have one Olivia right now so I'm running the Nocturnus' but that's a good point.

I don't see the benefit of mono red vampires. I can't find any red vampires that are worth busting up the Nocturnus effect and the shadow alley denizen effect which both are very useful for getting damage to the player with flying an intimidate.

Deck already runs 8 kill effects. I could sub in bolts over blightnings, and will defiantly keep them on my sideboard but 12 kill effects is a huge amount, and would leave me weak against decks with low creature counts, though bolts are always useful.

Thanks for the advice though, gave me something to think about.

i build legacy ones, some cards you may be able to use.
