Gluttonous Guest

Creature — Vampire

When this enters the battlefield, create a Blood token. (It's an artifact with ", , Discard a card, Sacrifice this artifact: Draw a card.")

Whenever you sacrifice a Blood token, you gain 1 life.

Ok, I would start by cutting the cards of which the abilities are too specific to ever really work in a game. Here are first ones I would choose and why:

  • Blood Hypnotist: your list only contains three other cards that generate blood-tokens. The likelihood of her ability ever being used is therefore rather slim.
  • Cascade Seer: bit of an expensive-to-cast scry opportunity when at most you can get Scry 2 (your party thus far cannot include anything else than 1 of 10 wizards and 1 of 5 clerics).
  • Dragonsguard Elite: with so few non-permanents in the deck (thus far), this one may not be worth it.
  • Gluttonous Guest: would not include this for similar reason as Blood Hypnotist.
  • Goldberry, River-Daughter: though I love the beauty of this card, her abilities aren't of much use to you because your deck barely creates counters.
  • Guardians of Oboro: would not use this for similar reason as for Goldberry (you have a few auras, but so few that this ability will probably never trigger).
  • Kasla, the Broken Halo: good combatant but since there's nothing else with convoke in here, her ability is pretty useless.
  • Kiora, Sovereign of the Deep: there are no krakens, serpents, etc. in this deck, so aside from being a decent combatant, she's not doing much.
  • Mesa Enchantress: almost no enchantments?
  • Rime Tender: no snow permanents?
  • Setessan Petitioner: with so few green permanents in the deck, not sure if this is worth it.
  • Spellstutter Sprite: having doubts about this one. Not many faeries in this deck, but then again it's quite common these days to cast spells with CMC0, so ...
  • Sublime Archangel: lovely card but in a deck with this many creatures, I would assume you're going wide, right? That would mean 'Exalted' mechanic is not all that great. Or am I missing something?

Angels, Elves, Faeries and Vampires seem to be the main creature-types you're using. Maybe just focus on these types and make it easier to create some synergies? Or is this too functional?

Hi - I love taking precons and improving on them. It's a fun way to start with something ready-made and then see how it plays and how you want to improve it. That said, you state your theme is blood tokens, and I think you can remove a number of cards that don't really feed into that theme, and include more to support the tokens. You cannot rely on always being able to generate damage with Strefan, Maurer Progenitor nor can you rely on him always being on the battlefield.

I would consider adding cards such as:

Just some ideas to make the most of the tokens but also ensure a more steady supply.

Would love your comments on any of my decks, too. Thanks!

I really liked Gluttonous Guest, and wish there were more "when you sacrifice a Blood token" effects.

Creature - Vampire (Common)

Whenever you sacrifice a Blood token, scry 1.

I'd like to see another common you wish you saw in Crimson Vow
