Tweaking a R/B Vamp deck with Chandra

Deck Help forum

Posted on Dec. 30, 2011, 3:48 a.m. by notinuse

I have spun off my mono black bloodthirst vamp deck into a R/B deck with (hopefully) some better synergy between cards. The idea is to stave off your opponent with Doomblade, burn, and the edict-like effect of Tribute to Hunger until you can bloodthirst Bloodrage Vampire . Curse of Stalked Prey adds counters and Volt Charge can ideally pump all of your creatures. Bloodlord of Vaasgoth helps give some teeth to smaller vamps and the Bloodline Keeper  ^{Flip  Flip}. Chandra, the Firebrand copies burn spells and can double up a Volt Charge or wipe their side of the board with her -6 ability. I was running Heartless Summoning , but it was just too crippling and dented the advantage gained through bloodthirst.

Any ideas? Do I need more removal or burn? Different spells? I like that they're all instants, so it makes the deck more versatile between turns. Incinerate looks like a weak spot that could be filled with a different creature or enchantment I haven't considered.

Please help me out! I'm trying to make this competitive enough to stand up in FNM instead of just stomping my friend's lame Griffin deck all the time. :-)

Sideboard ideas are greatly appreciated.
