This is my Modern Swamps Count deck, based off of "Marsh Madness deck.

The deck starts a little slow, with small creatures like the Sanitarium Skeleton being played to hold down the fort while I build up to start casting my fun spells.

Call of the Bloodline is the surprise star in the early game, with me discarding Veilborn Ghoul to get a 1/1 Vampire Knight with Lifelink, playing a swamp, and returning the Ghoul to my hand, just to do it again.

The REAL fun starts when I get to cast Lashwrithe, and equip it on one of those 1/1 Vampire Knights. A 5/5 with lifelink? Yes please!

Liliana of the Dark Realms helps ensure I've always got swamps, and her -3 ability can be an amazing finisher, and a good cast of Corrupt can completely turn the game around on my opponent.

For control, I have Doom Blade, Quag Sickness, Mire's Toll, and Fleshbag Marauder's ETB.

Stay out of the Swamps, it's dangerous to go alone!
