Forget Sheltering Word, Vines of Vastwood beat it by a mile. And when kicked, oh man.

But you can heal with SW a ton if you combo it with CjM.

Nighthowler seems good, but not good enough... :(

I use SW because it is cheap and it generally gives me a bunch of life.

Not sure if u considered this but Rite of Consumption basically a black fling in case you cannot swing for lethal

I was going to suggest Rite of Consumption ... but @Crazybop09 already did it, hehehe.

Hmmmmm, Ill' SB it. :D

Savage Summoning might have a place in here just to make sure your mains hit the board? Maybe even Increasing Savagery ?

@Caligula: Savage Summoning sounds good! But Increasing Savagery sounds to expensive (mana wise) for it's ablity... : )

I dont know if anybody suggested Varolz, the Scar-Striped but after sacking the creatures why not scavenge them?? Nice deck though!! anyone who has feedback for mine please help I'm new to modern http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/13-05-14-modern-blue-devotion-1/

I'll check it out shortly! :D

Rogue's Passage to make that guy unblockable maybe?

Thanks! I'll think about it! :D

I know it's high cost and out of theme, but for late game dominance, Sorin's Vengeance ?

That's WAY to expensive, well, mana wise. But still, thanks! :D

Think about Blood Artist . Since things will be dying a lot, you can have the ability to do more damage and gain some life as well.

Maybe consider Essence Scatter over Rite of Consumption . The extra mana sucks, but losing your biggest creature just to run into a Remand or Mana Leak sucks. A lot. Essence Scatter doesn't require you to sacrifice your guy at all, and is much easier to recover from if it gets countered.

Other than that, I like the deck and I love the budget! Nice one.

I don't know why I thought Essence Scatter . I meant Essence Harvest . My bad! >.<

You guys are right! :D

Awesome deck! What about 1x Army of the Damned .. It's for 8 mana, but if you sacc every creature summoned by this, you can make your vampire huuuuge in only one turn:)..

To expensive, but might be worth a try... :)

why is this deck $200 all of a sudden? (im expecting it's a malfunction on my part, but im still wondering.

I think it's because of those Swamps and Forests - these versions are more expensive.

yeah, that's what i thought also.

Changed the land base! :D

I play tested your deck about 20 times haha:

In my opinion, change out the Pawn of Ulamog and Reassembling Skeleton for something more synergetic. They seem like junk in the hand unless you have your corpse jack and/ or bloodflow out. Maybe get a dual purpose creature like Rakdos Cackler and Agent of the Fates . Same mana cost, still veryyyy cheap. Plus,when you cast on Agent, they sac a creature. You can sac Radkos for bloodflow cis its just a weenie etc etc etc.

The Slitherhead is KILLER in this deck with the sac for bloodflow and the double counter from corpsejack. Sac then scavenge? Counters for everyone! WOO! Especially if you have Solidarity of Heros to cast, damn! Good idea. If you have the mana at least.. which brings me to another thing i should bring up: theres a little high chance of mana flood in this deck...maybe cut down to 15 or 14 swamps? Whatever you gotta do.

Another thing I want to bring up is protection for corpse jack and bloodflow...those 2 creatures are going to be big targets by your opponent and they're going to catch on very quick what you're up to. If they Detention Sphere them, you're screwed. So counter spells or protection, something.

+1 though! this is seriously a fun budget deck that has a crap load of potential even staying in budget! I live for budget decks haha.

Hails.
