Deck Description

Mono Vampire deck. Vampires are cool. Nothing much else to say here.

Read How to Play for the basic strategies and a question on advice.

How to Play

Basic life gain. You can be more flexible with life due to the intense amount of life gain and steal. Having Sorin on the field is a plus. But the main cards in this deck are the 4 bloodline keepers.

I use to have 4 blood artists but I brought it down to 2 in replace for the screechers. I have tended to keep the blood artists alive and use them as enchantments, which can be both positive and negative in some cases. If anyone has a suggestion there, or thinks certain cards on the sideboard should be exchanged for the main, let me know. Any advice is welcome. Its a work in progress

Bood artists out for screechers seems like a BAD idea. Blood artist wins games, screechers don't make quite as much impact. Maybe keep the screechers in the sideboard in case of storm crow but otherwise use the artists! Don't forget they stack, so the more the merrier! Nocturnus would actually be good idea, cause it boosts your nighthawks and more sangromancers wouldn't hurt either. As you're not playing standard, you might as well upgrade your kill spells to go for the throats to bring your curve down a little bit. I'd increase the number of dark ritual too cause you just can't go wrong there. And what about captivating vampire?

Alright... this deck needs a lot of "help". I recommend cutting out the Cabal Ritual and replacing it with another Dark Ritual. Hideous End is the same cost as Murder and Murder does not discriminate - so cut the Hideous End and add another Murder. I see no reason for Pentavus to be in the deck... do you have a reason for him that I am overlooking?
Four Bloodline Keeper's seems a bit much, but if you'd rather have four of him over the other vampire lords (Vampire Nocturnus, Captivating Vampire, Adaptive Automation, etc) than that's fine, but I agree with disturbed death on the Vampire Nocturnus only because he gives the non-flying vampires Flight and Unholy Strength.
Piranha Marsh and Vault of Whispers really don't serve much of a purpose that a simple Swamp couldn't handle.
Gatekeeper of Malakir is amazing, I'd personally run 4 of him, but 3 is good too. The Basilica Screecher could be swapped for Kalastria Highborn's or Bloodghast's.
Sorin's Thirst is decent, but not needed really. Add another Dark ritual and round it out to 4 total. Undying Evil is a good card too, but with Immortal Servitude in your deck... it's not really needed.
Bonehoard isn't bad, but it's not as good as Lashwrithe for this deck. Try that out instead.
Also, try Blade of the Bloodchief over Mask of Avacyn.
These are just my suggestions and advice. If you like them, I will be happy to keep helping you out.
