Thanls Lifa, good recommend. What do you think Yamish*theWickedOne? One-of, just like Stirring Wildwood in Junk?

I would take out 1 Swamp and one Isolated Chapel for 2 Shambling Vent.

2 suggestions for you: Liliana, Heretical Healer  Flip and Hangarback Walker.

Hangarback gives a body that later turns in multiple triggers, can also be played for 0 in a pinch to trigger the artists.

Liliana flips as soon as anything on your board dies, she can then start emptying hands or recur your artist or targets. And if you adopt both cards, her -X can be used as a -0 on a hangarback in your grave to trigger all your artists.

Those are pretty mint suggestions there, Volvary. I'll get them once they leave standard I reckon.

2x Soul Warden may be a good one drop and help with early lifegain.

Not sure what to sub out though. Nice deck!

Thanks bradc1988. It's sort of a more combo, less lifegain version of soul sisters. I wonder if Vampire Nighthawk is powerful enough outside of draft.

February 1, 2016 4:34 a.m.

Trust me, Nighthawk is amazing. Especially if you have a way to give him first strike and/or buff him.

February 1, 2016 5:59 a.m.

I noticed you have a lack of sac outlets. If anything, Viscera Seer and Bloodthrone Vampire might help you. And I would run a second Shambling Vents over a swamp. Yo have plenty of basics to deal with Blood Moon.

Thanks YamishiTheWickedOne. I use Viscera Seer in another deck, so I've steered clear. Perhaps it's time to find him a place.

Would you consider a set of Suture Priest, it just seems to fit really well in this situation. Not to mention Vault Skirge with all the lifegain you could recoup that loss of 2 life would small.

may be to slow for you but what abou Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet.

Has some synergies here with: Wrath of God Bloodghast Vampire Nighthawk

Does indeed Hoschie. Thank you. He might be worth a 1-of to try.

February 12, 2016 5:40 a.m.

Nice deck so far, have you considered Cliffhaven Vampire? It like a cheaper version of Sanguine Bond, still a little expensive by comparison with the rest of your deck, but I think it's worth a 1 of. Rally the Ancestors is really good with Viscera Seer if you decide to use it. Though it doesn't fit the life drain theme,Intangible Virtue is really strong with all the token production you have here.

Thanks Barbarian_Sun_Pope. All good ideas worth a try

February 13, 2016 1:26 p.m.

If Kalitas' tokens were vampires he'd be a god. As he is, I have this to say: when Jund is maining multiple copies of a 4-drop legendary, it's a good card. I would main 1 here as your endgame, the peak of your curve.

I would drop the Soul Wardens for Suture Priests

DavidBray says... #17

Thanks Ostrichman01. In modern?

March 4, 2016 2:27 p.m.

I'd keep the Soul Wardens. Lower cost.

March 5, 2016 6:01 a.m.

As I mentioned before, I would also include 1 Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet if you feel like you've got enough removal.

Pretty ace, Toptube, but I'm not sure if it packs enough punch. Now, if it sacrificed others...oh my word!

March 9, 2016 5:20 p.m.

Toptube says... #22

DavidBray, well with zulaport cuthroat and blood artist out, that's 4 points of damage, for one more mana. I dunno, maybe replace Soul Warden with Death Cultist for a couple of games and see how that goes?

or you could go with Deathgreeter, instead of Soul Warden.

When Deciding between Spectral Procession and Lingering Souls remember that Procession won't always be a three drop on turn three. Fairly often it will be a four drop. Although, if you can find room I'd shove in as many as both as I could.

Have you playtested Pious Evangel  Flip? It's probably too slow, but it does everything you want at a rather reasonable cost. After transforming it also can't be bolted. It probably costs 1 too much and 1 too much to transform, but I think it might get there instead of one of the soul wardens.

I think your assessment is spot on, justtesting2002. Probably too expensive but I might give the guy a whirl.
