Thread: [Official Thread] Vampire Aggro

Citing that the "pros" have not played Br and won with it isn't much of an argument either. RB Vampires have not shown in any good tournaments, Mono-B have. This is very relevant.

(I think that could be a problem for all Vamp Decks) I barely SB in knight vs Jund... I SB it in vs Aggro decks such as Boros, RDW,...

Kills most of everything that RDW throws at you. It kills manadorks just the same, but will do it turn 1 on the play. So in my eyes its a better maindeck card. Plus, it has nice synergy with Hexmage. This right here is why I find the argument between the 2 easy. Run...

Oh and someone pleasee help. How do you think MB Vamps vs http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazin...daily/deck/313 will do? It looks hella annoying to deal with since they can counter our removal spells, QQ. Plus, most of the creatures in that deck are out of Infest/Casualties range...I'm thinking about playing my Land Disruption deck if I have to play against this lol. Only thing I can think of now that would work great against that deck is...

http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showp...postcount=1691 Thats my states list- I'll admit I was a bit greedy running 23 land and 61 cards, but 4 SiB 2 GD made it work well enough. V.S. Jund -3 Disfigure +3 Deathmark -3 Hexmage +3 quest. Hope to draw quest with bloodghast or gatekeeper. Quest on the board actually makes bloodghast a problem for them. It also makes gatekeeping a thirnax not as terrible. Turn 5 sludge is obviously ideal.

you know, thats exactly what i thought lol, im gunna have to find a spot to fit it back in because its what i removed for the Jacerator Hate, that i didnt get to play >( id never had any issue with tokens until tonight and it was quite annoying. anyway, id like to get a chance to actually test out my Jacerator Hate before changing it, but i might just drop something like 1 Slave and the Unstable Footings.

Lmao here try it this way Drakness Deck-List Deck   ~Vamp~ 2 Vampire Lacerator 3 Bloodghast 3 Gatekeeper of Malakir 3 Vampire Hexmage 4 Vampire Nighthawk 4 Vampire Nocturnus 4 Malakir Bloodwitch ~Gubbins~ 2 Disentomb 3 Duress 3 Disfigure 3 Sign in Blood 4 Tendrils of Corruption ~Land~ 4 Marsh Flats 18 Swamp Sideboard 2 Eldrazi Monument 3 Mind Sludge 4 Sadistic Sacrament 3 Deathmark 3 Blood Seeker

And I found that Sorin Markov was my hero of the day, I run two. My favorite combo I pulled was round three I'm losing bad to Jund, I got a Nocturnus in play with land showing and one bloodgast. I draw the land, play it, bring in two bloods...
