Deck discussion for Life gain/drain

Hmm, if you're going to gain life, why not add in Sign in Blood? Target player loses 2 life and draws two cards. You can use it for some draw power.

I see that this is becoming more of a Vampire deck than just a standard Life-based deck. I also see that you only ave 18 Lands. You're gonna have a hard time drawing the right Lands to play certain cards; even drawing a Land is harder to get, especially when you have cards with CMC of 6. I suggest adding in more Land, dropping the Tendrils of Corruption and the Pitfall Traps.

I also suggest readjusting all your cards; what I mean is, drop what you feel doesn't help with the cause, and add in more that help you win. Your most important cards should be in your deck 4 times, whereas less important cards would be around 2 copies.

I also have a Black/White Life deck, more or less like yours, but with less emphasis on Vampires, and less variety of cards.

I'm actually taking out the piranha marshes for more swamps and I might take out the pitfall traps for 2 more vampire nighthawks. I did a lot of vampires for the black in this deck because of there lifelink and their low cost. So far the only problem I have with this deck was against my friends who just makes me discard every card in my hand. Also I might add the sign of blood or more diabolic tutors so I can get the cards I need when I need them.
