Blood Bairn /Bloodthrone Vampire + Young Pyromancer + Blood Artist

I think it could benefit from a third color. White brings better token generation, but blue has better control and flashback spells.

You would have to determine whether you want a more aggro deck, or control. That will decide your third color.

Try making a brew for both, and see which works better.

Looks like a slightly worse Aristocrats deck

The issue here with Young Pyromancer is that you'd need a steady stream of spells to cast with it in order to make any of this possible.

Why not just go B/W and do Lingering Souls instead? It's essentially the first four triggers from the Pyromancer on one spell anyways.

and replace the two vampires with falkenrath and cartel aristocrat and there you have it, the Aristocrat deck, lol.

Aristocrats, however, is a high-variance deck. It's just not consistent enough to compete with other decks that have the same clock each game.

I have to agree that there are much better sac outlets than those Vampires, but I'm struggling to think of something besides Aristocrats lol. But as far as Young Pyromancer goes, it seems like a strange fit here unless you plan on having gobs of token-producers, since Junk has many better 2-drops like Skirsdag High Priest .
