This is sort of the unofficial sequel of the old Blood Artist ZomVamps deck from the Innistrad block. I can't claim that I was the first to put Geralf's Messenger and Gray Merchant of Asphodel in the same deck, and there are probably a hundred decks out there running Gatekeeper of Malakir and Vampire Nighthawk, but I've wanted to put together a mono black deck for modern for a while and I have to say this one has been kicking ass in the format.

The only thing I'm considering doing is swapping Phage the Untouchable out for another Phyrexian Crusader. While Phage + Nighthaze + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth + Lightning Greaves is a nasty late game surprise, my opponent is usually long dead by then.

Phlactery Lich is another card I've been wanting to run for a while. 3 drop black fatties are always fun, and he couples well with the Merchant.

The infect mechanic is kind of a side show to the main act of midrange direct damage, but a crusader with greaves on turn 3 will get you a lot of rage quits - especially against white decks.

I'm excited about this deck, I've gotten bored with tournaments so it's kind of nice to be back kicking butt in plain old constructed modern again.
