Read this first!

Right now, the biggest problem I have is the deck has 5 cards too many. Please help me cut cards by pointing out cards that just aren't good enough for this format. I you see a car an find it worthless, check below, the value might be there for you to understand it. (doesn't mean that just because it's listed below that I won't consider removing it.) Most cards will be considered for removal with a clear and reasonable argument.

Ways to kill a Player: Exquisite Blood and Sanguine Bond are a win con as a pair, but alone, they will double with almost anything that will WIN the game. Making everything I play either more deadly or keep me alive MUCH longer (ignoring mill or general damage of course).

-Exsanguinate

-Malakir Bloodwitch with a lot of vamps.

-Blood Tribute

-In Garruk's Wake + (Blood Artist effect and/or a few vamps)

-False Cure I saw this and just though "how fun would THAT be to kill someone with this." (Looking at you True Conviction!)

-Imp's Mischief someone might just play a "game winning spell" that I would LOVE to redirect to their face. hehe

-Bloodchief Ascension/Blood Artist/Falkenrath Noble Anyone wanna board wipe? I'll kill that annoying sliver/token deck over there. hehe Insert evil grin.

---

Draw Power:

-Solemn Simulacrum

-Sanguimancy

-Skullclamp

-Altar's Reap (Sac something in response to it being killed/tucked)

-Phyrexian Arena

-Well of Lost Dreams

---

Mana Ramp:

-Solemn Simulacrum

-Burnished Hart

-Pawn of Ulamog

-Charcoal Diamond

-Fire Diamond

-Darksteel Ingot moved to sideboard.

-Everflowing Chalice

-Rakdos Signet

-Sol Ring

-Talisman of Indulgence

Mana Doublers:

-Crypt Ghast

-Caged Sun

---

Creature Removal:

-Olivia Voldaren "Give her deathtouch, steal them or just ping a few times."

-Anowon, the Ruin Sage Indestructible? No problem.

-Butcher of Malakir 2 of my guys died, you lose 2 guys. and so do you and you :)

-Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief she drains toughness...need I say more?

-Guul Draz Assassin level up a few times to snipe small utility creatures.

-Brainspoil

-Profane Command

-Void kills tokens, 2 drops, or whatever is about to kill you.

-Dark Temper useful against pro-black creatures.

-Imp's Mischief can redirect a person's Beast Within onto that same player's hexproof stuff.

-Withering Boon because let's be honest, who expects a counter spell from Black/red? No one. Effective in stopping those over-powered ETB effects.

---

Somewhat Board Wipes:

-Contagion Engine single player slow board wipe.

-In Garruk's Wake the best.

-Sudden Spoiling works if someone is attacking me...I can pick how to block and kill all the attacking things I want.

-Ascendant Evincar let's me put a stop to most token decks.

-Void

---

Lord Effects:

-Ascendant Evincar

-Bloodline Keeper His flipped side.

-Captivating Vampire

-Stromkirk Captain

-Vampire Nocturnus kinda dependent on not having a land or artifact on top...but gives flying to those without flying.

-Caged Sun might as well be a Lord.

---

When a player bleeds:

-Bloodlord of Vaasgoth gives Bloodthirst 3

-Necropolis Regent anyone gets +1/+1 counters for every damage dealt.

-Rakish Heir vampires get a +1/+1 counter.

-Mirri the Cursed she gets a +1/+1 counter (when a creature bleeds/dies).

---

Can't block this:
Most of my creatures can fly and for those who can't, there's Vampire Nocturnus

-Malakir Bloodwitch pro-white

-Shadow Alley Denizen anytime a black creature enters the battlefield...

-Whispersilk Cloak

---

Tutors:

-Beseech the Queen

-Brainspoil there are tons of lovely 5-drops I could look to as answers/win-cons.

-Diabolic Tutor

-Profane Command if what I need is dead already and not in my library.

This deck is meant to be somewhat budget (less than 75 for the cards I don't own, which is most of them), but yet still fun to play as and against and even effective enough to win casual games. As you can see, I do have some decently costly cards like Phyrexian Arena and what not that reach near $10. I'm not to worried about that as much as the overall cost. I don't have hundreds to spend and many of the classic EDH cards (i.e. Sol Ring, Cavern of Souls, Solemn Simulacrum) I already have.

Lands aren't the best but that was the tightest part of the budget. I can't afford 5-25 dollar lands just to keep my lands untapped when they enter the battlefield.

Some of my biggest problems is cutting those last few cards to fit right within 100. Do I have the right amount of mana? the correct ramp? what about creature to artifact ratio? Is there anything in there that I'm thinking is worthy hate but just not worth the card slot? (Looking at you Vampire Hexmage)

All help is appreciated. Thanks so much!! And if you want me to look at your deck, just leave a comment* and/or idea for my deck and a link to yours and I'll take a look at it. (As an added bonus, I give +1 to good decks, fun-looking stuff or creative ideas!!)

*Even if all you have to comment is: "Hey, that card you picked works well with this card in your deck!" That is helpful to me :)

P.S. I got the original deck idea from a deck I saw on Tapped out. The deck name is [[]]
