+1 because imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I noticed that lol I didn't even look at your deck until later on in this one's development, I just went off your suggestions and whaddya know.

Drop thine 2 Vampire Lacerator and replace wtih the cursed cat

i'm fine with it. if i inspire someone else i feel proud.

But it definitely works, I must say

white, lacerator is better due to being 1 mana.

but with 2 how often with thy see it? by the point thou does, 4 CMC should be no problem

It doesn't matter, if I was to use 4 mana on let's say turn 4 for Mirri, it doesn't leave any mana open for Lightning Bolt or Terminate. Nocturnus would be the optimal card on turn 4 anyway, but the point still stands. If I had a Lacerator on turn 4, I could play it and still have mana open while still being aggressive

you want a decent size field when you drop nocturnus. 2/2 for 1 mana is amazing. and if you want another 4 mana creature, go with Olivia Voldaren

Simple. Effective. Deadly.

I like it, +1

i'm gonna try out using 4 bloodghast in my build and 2 nighthawk, no olivia, see how it works by comparison. in other words, leaning more aggro than midrange.

That's funny cuz I've been wanting to try more midrange, I just don't have olivia

huh. she's amazing in all honesty. i'm just trying to see whether i like more speed or more staying power for my aggro vampires.

why you no use shrine to nyx? i use it in my mono black vampire deck, Bloodghast , Kalastria Highborn , and Vampire Nocturnus are all great for devotion you could ideally be tapping for 6+ mana on turn 3 or 4 with the right creatures out allowing you to get more of the boosters out. just a suggestion.

Hey, just to let you know, I tested something out and liked it. 1 Mutavault . All I did was drop my swamps to 5. If you can pick up a Mutavault, try it out sometime.

Well I guess its officially in a format now, its definitely wasn't standard, even before rotation that is, but who cares vampires are awesome! =) You ought to swap in Cavern of Souls for Blackcleave Cliffs and Marsh Flats for Dragonskull Summit to aid in triggering Vampire Nocturnus but if this is a deck you physically own I wouldn't do that unless you plan on playing competitively in modern tournaments anytime soon because they will cost you out the behind. Then again, it's worth it in an eternal format if you play competitively as I said before. Underworld Connections is also an amazing way to trigger Vampire Nocturnus . Swap Stromkirk Noble for Guul Draz Vampire and Lightning Bolt for Feast of Blood and you will see why Vampire Nocturnus used to cost a fortune when Vampires was a standard deck. Just sideboard Lightning Bolt for when you need it. If you want to keep more red in the deck use Rakdos colored creatures like Falkenrath Aristocrat or Olivia Voldaren so that they still trigger Vampire Nocturnus . You might try Malakir Bloodwitch as well because she's the alternate game winner if you don't see him. But still good deck either way.

Vampire Nocturnus works beter in a mono-black vamp deck, definitely run Olivia Voldaren though

I totally agree that it works better in mono-black. It still works pretty well in this though as it hits half of the deck. I actually made a different version of this deck to playtest with a while ago if you want to check that out. *Insert Vampire Name Here* redux

Nocturnus is fine in rakdos. Drop your summits for more fetches, throw in an urborg, maybe drop the lacerators for Viscera Seer if you're really feeling insecure about consistency.

Oh and throw some Rakdos Charms in the side.
