Volt Charge will be going in at some point, thanks.

Love a good Rakdos deck and this one seems a pretty good combination between Vampires and Burn, +1 :)

Also, take a ooh at my Rakdos Infection for some ideas for the sideboard. I think Anger of the Gods and Slaughter Games would be pretty good additions.

Thanks for the suggestions and the +1, Anger of the Gods will be getting purchased real soon and Slaughter Games is a maybe, don't know what I would take out for them.

Magma Spray

Slaughter Games is awesome against some decks and mid/late threats (Spaceshift, Living End, Gifts Ungiven, etc). As these decks depend heavily on some cards, when you remove these cards from the game, your chances to win increase significantly :)

Put Mugging in my side deck and replaced it with Flame Slash , would rather kill a creature if able rather than have it not be able to block for one turn.

Oh yeah, also put Midnight Charm in my side deck.

Why not Dragon's Claw instead of Iron Star ?

Dragon's Claw is a great idea, After I bought and played with Iron Star in my deck; I took them right back out, Paying 1 every time sucked. Thanks for the suggestion, I will be buying these real soon.

Falkenrath Exterminator and Markov Blademaster are great +1/+1 counter gaining vampires.

Dragon's Claw and Witchbane Orb seem like sideboard cards to me. Dragon's Claw doesn't really seem worth it unless your opponent is using a lot of red too and Witchbane is obviously only worthwhile if the opposing deck has a significant amount of cards that target you.

I do have a couple Falkenrath Exterminators, I think I will put them in, thanks. I use the Artifacts just for that reason, I have friends that like to give direct damage or have me discard so I figured why not have protection from them and gain life when they cast red spells.

Fair enough, you obviously know the decks you face a lot better than I do, but I would definitely recommend finding a way to get down to 60 cards.

Lol, yeah I go with 65 cards in my decks because I can never decide what to get rid of to bring it to 60, lol but it doesn't seem to hurt me so I stick with it,

Stromkirk Noble

What about Bloodline Keeper  ^Flip ?

I do like Stromkirk Noble because it's only 1 mountain to cast; unfortunately I do not own any and haven't purchased them yet. Good call, I'll add them to my list so I can remember to get them the next time I order. Thanks

I've thought about Bloodline Keeper  ^Flip also, the only reason I had not purchased them is because of the high casting cost, My Idea was to keep the casting cost down so I could bring my Vampires out as early as possible and build their counters up before too many creatures got on the battlefield and block combat damage. Now I have Door of Destinies and adding Bloodline Keeper  ^Flip would help build counters up quickly with it's tap and put a 2/2 Vampire on the battlefield ability. Adding to my list. Thanks

Actually the Bloodline Keeper  ^Flip ability doesnt trigger Door of Destinies . The trigger requires you to cast a spell of the chosen type, not whenever a creature of the chosen type enters the battlefield. Also Annihilating Fire is relatively bad, and Searing Spear isnt that amazing either, i would recommend Incinerate , Bump in the Night , or Flames of the Firebrand .

Ahhh, gotcha. So does Door of Destinies still get a counter if I play a vampire and say an opponent plays an instant that sends it back to my hand or to the graveyard or does it have to resolve and be on the battlefield in order to get the counter on Door of Destinies ? Just wondering because it says every time you cast a spell not every time a spell resolves.

Yeah you just have to cast it, whether it gets countered or not, which i guess is the upside here.

Sweet, thanks.
