To joe, i think that Vigor is bad as well but for a tad different reason. I think that its a bad draw in most casses and i say dont run a card if most of the time when you draw it your response is ****. But the real reason not to run it is the lands dont have haste soooo wtf is the point in making it untap. I would say your running red? run the red zendikon that is haste (i think). I would recomend for speed to attempt gen wave cause your hitting everything you want, just 2 cause unless late game its a "ah damn". and maybe cut down the lands to 29? just ideas i like it
While deck testing (WITH YOU) i thought that a mystifying maze would do you good. I also think that actually picking a color so you can use black sun? IDk i like panic cards.
you could run tainted strike for a surprise hit that can deal some seriouse damage
Try running some vendetta's and sign in bloods i think, because sign can draw you into kill and creatures... if you run 4 signs then essentially you only have 52 cards in your deck due to how much draw, i would drop the vamp that makes you sack and the assassin... only because im not a fan of those, all in all im sure its strong, and thank god your vamps are straight black.
This is a great idea, but am curious if you think that omnoth the locus of mana, would be good. I think it could help since it may store mana untill an epic gen wave of doom hits the field but yet it is also a giant kill spell magnet... and another thing is maybe only 2 or 3 Elixer in my opinion, if its for the shuffle back then emrakul would be funny, since it completely stops mill and if you actually get it on the field its lolz i win.
Im not that big of a fan for piston sledge and love Distortion Strike so i think making the Pistons into Distortion will speed the game up quite tremendously.
try running some Spread the Sickness or Virulent wounds
Oh and your Black to Green mana ratio is 3:1 so try mixing up the land from a even to slightly tilted in the swamps favor, since septic rats and grasp are duel black it could help, and Cystbear is only one green, Putrefax is 2 green but also later game so its ok, your more likely to have the green by than.
Now this looks vicious, if you have the money to pick it up try getting some verdant catacombs because it will help with the duel color issue. Also i dont know if you have trouble getting the duel black for Grasp but if you do i would suggest vendetta, Consuming Vapors or smother. You also have a mana curve near 2.8 i would guess, this makes me think that the 24 lands could be to much, and i LOVE sign in blood, 4 of those will help you get mana and other things that could be usefull to you at the time. I know people dont like to lose life but its generally ok, and it draws to cards out. That makes me think for each card it draws it cuts your deck size that much meaning you essentially have only 48 cards if you run 4 sign in bloods and Verdant Cat, just a thought, but i really like this, let me know how it goes :).
I am really picky about my Vamps for i love to run them and i rock the tables all day long, with a legit MONO black. people need to drop the red for vendetta, smother, consuming vapors, and run 4 Gatekeepers. Vampires rock socks with just black, its like jund, they just win. But i suppose im bias for the mono color since it works well for me, I also dont like pulse tracker, sure he gets in for one for sure but idk Gual draz Specter i think is a 1/1 and if your opponent is at 10 or less its a 3/2 with intimidate and thats pretty good for one mana. A really fun guy to run is BloodThrone because your opponents have to block him or get hit massivly and as he gets bigger they lose 2 and you gain 2. Verdant tells them to day, cause highborne goes on the stack and you than crank out mana to destroy them, all in all nice.
Some things to side in are possibly Corrupted Conscious. For sure Fuel for the Cause. Another good buff could be vines of vastwood for if they have kill spells, and maybe even a contagion engine for double pro and field wipe. I like to see that the tide is getting some play by people.
I think that you really need to cut the webs entirely and cut down the number of swords. The Pro colors is amazing and so is spawning people but it slows the deck down a ton. This seems like a nifty take on the concept of infect but with out the kill spells your going to be stopped game after game.
