having multiple ways to win is nice and all but there are multiple ways to win that still follow the same game-plan. if you want to do a swamp-scaling type of deck than i would up the lands to 26 because hitting each land drop is how you win. use cheap/low-mana-cost removal spells and board clears(kinda pricy) to basically delay while your Lashwrithe and Korlash, Heir to Blackblade push to win. trying to mix combo within a deck that is based around tempo has only been done once in modern(successfully). that deck being splintertwin.

Thanks, it's a good advice. You think that Lashwrithe it's a good option?. I'll get Exquisite Blood out, what can i run instead ?.Should i keep on with Bubbling Cauldron + Gray Merchant of Asphodel + Sanguine Bond ?

I don't like the Bubbling Cauldron on it's own without the trio of cards it is set with(sorry i forgot their names). Grey Merchant of Asphodel is a standard power-house but is too mana intensive for modern. Sanguine Bond is a weird card that i haven't seen placed correctly, although i don't think this deck is it's place either. Lashwrithe works if you are going for the swamp-kind-of-deck.

Take out Drana add a Gary (Gray Merchant). -2 Consume Spirit for Sign in Blood. -1 Crypt Ghast for +1 Sanguine Bond.

CharlesMandore I was thinking about the extra Gary instead of Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief so maybe it's the best choice.About the +1 Sanguine Bond , i think that 3 it's just enough, i've playtested a lot and always get one with 3 in main.I will consider about the +2 Sign in Blood

I'd recommend Vampiric Link or some other lifelink enchantment it sort of makes a Corrupt on a stick. Also, Vampiric Link on an opponent's creature is fun plus Exquisite Blood because lawl.

I didn't even know that Vampiric Link was a card ! lol. I will test it and look how it works !! Exquisite Blood it's a good card and a good combo with Sanguine Bond and also seems to be fun to play with Vampiric Link but in this deck i don't see a place fot it.

Thanks for the help !

Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx Would be a good card, also Underworld Connections is amazing for card draws.

Garza's Assassin is a really good sac to kill a creature, or just plain devotion ramp, and Abhorrent Overlord is KILLER late game.

If you want some card ideas check out my deck, although a bit more on the expensive side. Black Devotion
