i dont think rhox faithmender belongs in here...but mostly it seems like your deck is trying to do too many things

I really have no clue how to slim it down, though. Any ideas?

I would recommend adding Grim Backwoods as it works quite well with Blood Artist and Falkenrath Noble. Also it works well with undying.

-1 Murder +1 Bone Splinters , -3 Rhox Faithmender +1 Blood Artist +2 Falkenrath Aristocrat , -2 Vraska the Unseen +2 card:Geralf's Messenger, -1 Curse of Exhaustion +1 Oblivion Ring , -2 Blood Reckoning +1 Doomed Traveler +1 Killing Wave , -2 Tribute to Hunger +2 Tragic Slip .......this is all i can think of right now....there may be some better white choices out there....but i couldnt think of anything at the moment....also....adding Planar Cleansing to the mainboard might not be bad, but you would need Rootborn Defenses to protect your own creatures...and the cool thing is....his creatures would die and your Blood Artist would still be alive and trigger

I feel like if you want to try to do a deck like this you might be better off switching to red or adding red and using Rage Thrower . There is a lot more potential to be able to take out an opponent. Also, I don't think Oblivion Ring fits with the idea of the deck. The point is killing, so Ultimate Price or more Murder or the like would likely be a better choice.

I think replacing the white with red would work better for you. More undying and Falkenrath Aristocrat along with Blood Artist and the Rage Thrower previously mentioned would blast them to pieces.

I'm going to toss around a few ideas and probably make a couple different decks revolving around the same concept. Thanks for all the suggestions!

Yes....red would make this better...but I disagree with rage thrower....6 CMC is too much. Especiall when it only has 2 toughness....if it had 4 toughness....maybe? I also feel that undying works well with your sacrificing creatures for damage with blood artist....i like it....I made a multiple win condition jund deck that you would probably like http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/multiple-win-condition-jund/

I know Thragtusk is awesome but with only two coppies of it you really shouldn't splice green into the deck. Vraska isn't that great in here either. I would concentrate more on spamming creatures. Doomed traveler is nice and so are many of the other choices you have made just make them x4 now.-2 thragtusk +1 blood artist +1 doomed traveler -3 rhox faithmender +3 Geralf's Messenger -3 young wolf +2 Falkenrath Noble +1 Vampire Nighthawk. Sorin, Lord of Innistrad might be an option too

I have made a deck based on these suggestions and some ideas I've been tossing around. Feel free to check out Attempt Two With Blood Artist and comment, +1, and/or suggest anything you see fit!

I literally just got back from playing with some buddies and realized that combo is available in standard. Thanks!

Looking at a 65 card deck now. I think it looks quite alright, personally. Any thoughts?

Drop Trained Caracal add Rhox Faithmender . lose 2x Exquisite Blood for Chalice of Life  Flip ? always go for 60 cards (anything above 60 lowers the chance of drawing every other card in the deck, therefore you are worse off no matter what you add) just optimize what you can in the 60 card span.

I agree about the statistics of card draw. I would like to add Chalice of Life  Flip , but Exquisite Blood is such a key role in this deck... I've decided to sideboard it in case I come across creature removal.

I'll be doing some play testing and tweaking based on those results. I plan on taking this to FNM, so it's going to see a lot of change based on my area's metagame.

what about going in another direction entirely and littering the board with 1/1 tokens and then letting them die/killing them yourself?
