Went 1-2at first FNM. Both loses went to game 3. Having a hard time with decks that load up on Planeswalkers.

More duresses can help with this problem. Duress can hit planeswalkers fyi.

Thanks for the input. I appreciate it. I will add those in and I'm sure it will help

Zulaport Cutthroat.

Oath of Gideon, Retreat to Emeria to the mainboard, those tokens are ally triggers and the cutthroat gives you the trigger when your dudes die, the Cliffhaven Vampire works well with drain

@freakangel thanks. I've had the Cliffhaven Vampire in but moved them out to speed up a bit. I will test with Oath of Gideon and Retreat to Emeria

Nice Deck. With mostly Vampires it might be fun to add Stoneforge Masterwork that can further buff your Bloodbond Vampire and make them pretty unstoppable.

I like it, though like Kawstik said it'll be helpful to add Cliffhaven Vampire, it'd work well with this setup

Cliffhaven Vampire probably will make it back into the deck. I only just took them out 2 days ago to see if it would speed up the deck a little bit. As far as Stoneforge Masterwork what to take out to make room?

I would maybe remove March from the Tomb? You may find it more valuable than I do, however. Whenever I ran it in my deck, I would rarely find a good time to use it because A. I didn't have many creatures in my graveyard or B. or it wouldn't pull out enough creatures to justify the high Mana cost. Just a suggestion of course. Not sure what else you could remove short of dropping to 22 lands or something. And while Call the Gatewatch is a good card, it could become wasted space potentially if you draw your Planeswalker in your opening hand. Cheers.

@Cragon18 I'll play test tonight with the march/stoneforge swap. Thanks again for the input.

Keeping the vampire theme, Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet and Sorin, Solemn Visitor would fit into this deck nicely. Also mentioned earlier, Oath of Gideon would give you 2 ally triggers (along with the bodies) and allows Gideon, Ally of Zendikar to ultimate the turn you play him and still stay alive.

@kpral thanks for the tips my only issue is Kalitas doesn't trigger Rally and Sorin is about to rotate out so I don't want to drop the coin on him.

I like the deck, I honestly would not want to run the Call of the Gatewatch though. It seems wasted. It is only good in Superfriends decks that want options at planeswalkers. Cliffhaven Vampire has been ridiculous in my build, and March from the Tomb is excellent. It allows you to block more carelessly, knowing you're going to recure a bunch of things. Hitting 2 Healers and a Cliffhaven gets you 6 damage, gain 3, and nets three creatures in the process. Plus, Serene Steward activations or Bloodbond Vampire Counters.

@Nick.lott thanks. I made some changes adding back Cliffhaven Vampire and March from the Tomb This is now more like where I started with the deck. I wonder if it's even worth keeping the lone Gideon, Ally of Zendikar in there?

Yeah, I would keep him in there. It can't hurt.

Stoneforge Masterwork just isn't working well enough to keep. I'm thinking about Zulaport Cutthroat in here.

Went 3-2 at FNM. Had a tough time with a Black control hand hate deck. Close matches again mono-red prowess rally and R/B prowess.

Hey mate, I run a similar style deck, what have you found works well so far? Have you had a chance to test Retreat to Emeria? I have been running two, but had mixed results. The ally tokens haven't really come at the best time, which would be when I've had a Kalastria Healer and Zulaport Cutthroat on the field. Although did use the +1 ability to decent effect with a few other creatures out to attack with.

Dee855 I have tested with retreat. It's ok I guess but I keep it SB if I run into board wipe. I found the +1/+1 wasn't the right choice very often when I did use it.

I said it before and I'll say it again Zulaport Cutthroat a 4of must

freakangel I know you said 4 but I could only find room for 3. Thanks and throw me a +1 if you don't mind

I would swap the two Remorseless Punishment for 1 more Kalastria Healer and 1 more Zulaport Cutthroat. There just isn't enough removal or discard to make this thing do what you want at a given time. Prowess decks could suffer from lack of creatures and pouring out hands in the first few turns. But that would make it SB. I just don't think it develops enough advantage in this deck. And the Healer and Cutthroat are both definitely 4-ofs.

I would go something like...

3x Bloodbond Vampire3x Cliffhaven Vampire2x Drana, Liberator of Malakir3x Drana's Emissary4x Kalastria Healer2x Lantern Scout4x Zulaport Cutthroat2x Oath of Gideon2x Silkwrap1x Stasis Snare2x Duress2x March from the Tomb2x Ruinous Path3x Captain's Claws1x Gideon, Ally of Zendikar

Then your land base and SB. Which I would drop 3rd Lantern Scout for 3rd Cliffhaven Vampire, and cut the 2 Retreats from SB to add the 3rd Lantern Scout and 2 Remorseless Punishment if you want. I would also do away with everything you have in "Maybeboard" none of it is huge on value.

I've made most of those adjustments Nick.lott & freakangel Thanks a million. I'm skipping the Silkwrap because I don't have any and they rotate in a few weeks.

No problem at all. I really like the deck. The only reason I'm not running Bloodbond Vampire is because Im running CoCo's in mine, along with Cliffhaven Vampire, adding another 4 drop would make for some clunky draws, I fear. Otherwise, I would be. Mine has performed extremely well, and it can win out of nowhere. Don't be afraid to chump block recklessly with Zulaport and Kalastria. You're optimal March from the Tomb would be hitting 2 Kalastria and 2 Zulaport, with a Cliffhaven Vampire in play. That's 16 damage, and gain 8. Which is insane, plus 8 counters on Bloodbond.Anyway, yours and mine differs, but they run similar. I like your brew, and the deck works, its really powerful. I kill GR ramp, Abzan Displacer, monoblack control, and even rally. I would suggest Infinite Obliteration for sideboard. I bring it in all the time, for Ulamog, Nantuko Husk, Reflector Mage, Zulaport Cutthroat, etc. Nice deck though man.
