Hey brokendwarf!Thank you for your comment!
I didn't know Malakir Bloodwitch and found it very interesting! Thank you for showing me!
As you can see, Only 3 cards have 5+ converted mana cost. I tried to make this deck as fast and offensive as possible.
My problem with Anowon, the Ruin Sage is that it's vulnerable and for it's mana cost, it doesn't buff my other vampires (as Vampire Nocturnus , Bloodline Keeper Flip and Bloodlord of Vaasgoth do).
As for Kalitas, Bloodchief of Ghet , it's awesome, and fits perfectly the mechanic of the deck, of plain destruction and heavy attacks. I'm changing the Sideboard now!
I have 2 Kalastria Highborn in my pile of cards, but i think that the fact that it's ability needs mana paying doesn't make it that effective every round (for that matter, i think Blood Artist should work fine, being a vampire as well), but is a thing to consider, if i find myself with mana to spare every turn...
I'm going to take a look on your decks, i saw that you have a lot of builds...Found the "Swarm" one particularly cool, hahaha

I like building decks (most of which I think are casual).

I would consider removing Bloodlord of Vaasgoth from the deck, as his ability, though very useful if it works, is not guaranteed, while Captivating Vampire , Vampire Nocturnus and Lord of Lineage Flip each provide less-situation-dependent boosts for less mana.And I would swap Child of Night for Guul Draz Assassin , as this would allow you to get a creature out as soon as turn 1, and the response from opponents to Guul Draz tends to be one of overcompensation and defensive play due to his abilities (it totally psyches them out).For a deck that is already full of vampires, Mark of the Vampire seems a little superfluous and is a costly enchantment that takes up space. It does provide lifelink, but so does Vampire Nighthawk for less mana.Otherwise, I think youre doing well to have Captivating Vampire and Vampire Nocturnus , as they are staple components of any aggressive vampire deck.

This is my take on a vampire deck masquerade at the black court Some of the differences I noticed are Kalastria Highborn and Malakir Bloodwitch. Have you considered either one of them or since you are using Bile Blight main have you considered Urge to Feed instead? I suppose they each have their merits, I have just found the latter to be generally more useful to me. +1 for vamps

Hi man, thx for the comment! I'll take a look on your deck!
Here's the deal: I have 3 vampire decks... One for Legacy, one for Modern and i'm making an EDH.My Legacy Vampire Deck is Mid-range, and although i enjoy kalastria highborn effects, they are rather situational, and from time to time i didn't have the untapped land to make it count.
You see, i don't have anything with CMC greater than 4! So i recognize the greatness of Malakir Bloodwitch, but i need my deck faster and hitting hard(since it's more about the bonuses from Lord of the Lineage, Captivating Vampire and Vampire Nocturnus and hitting with flying).I tried Urge to Feed for more than a Year, but for me, the removal usually comes in handy before the battle phase, so it wasn't always worthy tap my vampires for +1. I preffered to hit directly. Hence comes Bile Blight (and in my case it's understandable, since the meta game in my group of 20 friends is FILLED with elve balls decks, goblins decks and spirit tokens decks.. It's a great trade 4-for-1 card. Area removal for the win)
In modern, i need to be more versatile, so i use red vampires too. I much preffer the Bloodghast's Landfall Abilities combined with Falkenrath Aristocrat, Olivia Voldaren, and even the Kalastria Highborn. Stromkirk Captain turns Nighthawk Vampires and Bloodghasts into monsters.
The decks i mentioned are in my deck folders, if you liked the idea, go take a look! Keep up the good work! I liked your deck very much too (Black is my favourite colour), +1 and respect for the love of Hymn to Tourach (hahaha i have a discard deck as well)

You are running nothing but Vampires, so you could main that Anowon, the Ruin Sage .
More fun vampire stuff:
Kalastria Highborn
Kalitas, Bloodchief of Ghet
Malakir Bloodwitch
Liliana of the Dark Realms (since you only have Swamps as lands)
