Creature (2)


I only have access to a few expensive cards, so I have to compensate for it. Stensia Masquerade and Indulgent Aristocrat add +1/+1 counters when I don't have Drana.

Stuff dies, even without playing against control. Macabre Waltz lets me take back two creatures and then cast one for its madness costs.

Sin Prodder and Asylum Visitor provide some card draw, Macabre Waltz somewhat counts for that too. Tormenting Voice seemed a bit too slow, but I'm not sure about it.

Uncaged Fury works as a combat trick and often times will boost something with 3 attack, which makes it a 5 dmg spell for 3 mana, which is nice.

People with more money should add more Drana, Liberator of Malakir, Olivia, Mobilized for War and Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet.A nice decklist is here http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/22-03-16-guu-rb-vampires/

1st round: Bye (which secured me a price booster with Westvale Abbey  Flip, yay!)

2nd round: Terrible draws, multiple mulligans, lost 0:2, but we both felt like my deck had a very good chance if I hadn't drawn that badly. My opponent was playing BG, producing eldrazi tokens and either sacrificing them, or tapping them to Cryptolith Rite to play big stuff. In the next two games we played for fun, I pretty much steamrolled him, because I had the combo of getting Olivia out and playing Drana right afterwards, giving her haste via Olivia and thereby buffing both with tokens.

3rd round: UR control deck with Thing in the Ice  Flip, Jace, Vryn's Prodigy  Flip and Chandra, Flamecaller. Very interesting games! The decklist was similar to this one: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/for-thousands-of-years-i-laid-dormant-1/

I lost the first game after a long, long fight. The Chandras always just use their -X ability to completely clear my board, anything else is basically dealt with by using instants. The control was too much for me to deal with. I won the second game at about round 5, attacking with Ravenous Bloodseeker, discarding and casting Fiery Temper and then adding Unleashed Fury to deal a total of 11 dmg in one turn, with just one small creature attacking. The third game was the most close I've ever played. I managed to hit my opponent, while he was simultaneously removing my creatures and triggering his sphinx tutelage. I was down to my last card, he had 1 life. I drew Heir of Falkenrath  Flip and lost, but was very happy with how exciting this long game was.

All in all, I am rather happy with my deck, although I didn't win a round. The two non-official games in my second round and the one where I just rushed my opponent down in the third round were really nice.

I have managed to trade for two Dranas and one Foreboding Ruins, which are now replacing Elusive Tormentor  Flip and Swamp respectively. Drana is just really strong and getting her and Olivia more consistently probably will be what will make this deck win more.

Although some people think that Incorrigible Youths are bad because they have no evasion, and I agree about the missing evasion being quite bad, it has been very strong against the control opponent whose only creatures were Jayce and Thing in the Ice, both of which don't stand a chance against my card. For now I will keep it.
