6th place with a deck that's 64 cards, runs 4x Vexing Devil then aims to play mid-range, runs Tablet of the Guilds , and runs Vampire Nocturnus with 13 non-black spells?

Where do you play Magic? I'd win every week.

Well it wasn't at 64 when I played and vexing devil is a great combo with blood artist and bringing there life down even quicker. But I'm sure if you played at my fnm (little shop in southplainfield) you wouldn't do as good as you think we have tournament winners and amazing decks that are played consistently besides the random new comers. But yeah this deck works really well and would give anyone a huge problem . Also the tablet of the guilds is amazing in a two color deck you just have t experienced it yet .

Also ireman it does exist and is sleeved in my box so idk what your talking about .

agree with zandl, this deck could use a lot of improvement, the scope is very scattered. :/

First off, so I know what recommendations I can make, are you building a combo, midrange, control, or aggro deck?

what kind of improvement? this deck has n does really well.idk why you guys feel it's lacking. ALSO vampire nocturnus is at 2x which means i do not rely on it .i appreciate suggestions not bashing . thank you

zandl, i dont know why you even bother commenting on his deck and bashing his ideas and then flaunting around the fact that you think your a better magic player than him. if it served him well and he has the proof to back it up i dont understand why you question it. at least make suggestions to go with criticisms

I'd make suggestions, but he clearly doesn't think his deck needs to be changed at all. He got lucky at a few low-brow tournaments and thinks his deck is invincible. For Pete' sake, he thinks Tablet of the Guilds is a tier-1 staple.

I am giving him constructive criticism. He's just ignoring it.

No no you made critisims towards the deck with out knowing how it would even play and I never said that this deck is invincible because no deck can ever be . But to say that someone's deck pretty much didn't or shouldn't have done well at all when it did with out actually explaining yourself is bashing . If you would have made a solid suggestion to back up your "opinion" of my deck then I would've excepted it but you didn't and pretty much said my deck is terrible and if you were at my fnm you would go 4-0 everytime because decks like mine are doing well. Also, no I didn't get lucky I make the right decisions at the right times which just to say I'm still learning but no way it was just luck even though drawing is luck all together which makes your statement ignorant then helpful. Make a suggestion with critism or some type of facts and that's fine. But to say someone's "home brew deck" is an underperformer and was lucky without backing it up or actually seeing it play is far from helpful or even constructive . Thanks anyway guys for the suggestions always appreciated .

Simply based on how these cards perform in Limited formats, Pauper formats, and brewed Standard decks I've built an playtested in the past, I have the experience with these cards to be able to tell you that some of them simply don't belong in competitive Standard decks.

Also, any given Standard deck should be at 60 cards. Anything else is just hurting your chances of consistency.

Better?

Yes thankyou what cards do you believe should be taken out? Also just to say tablet of the Guilds saved me a couple times but if I can make the deck more lethal then I wouldn't need it at all . Peolp at my fnm play a lot of midrange explosive decks like g/w or jund that's why it works which is probably the only reason

Take Angel's Feather. Would you play it in any mono-white deck? For me, Tablet of the Guilds is almost the same and maybe even worse because you only have 12 spells in the mainboard that will give you more than 1 life when they're played. If you want to compete against aggro, I would simply mainboard the Pillar of Flames.

@knownasnieves, Just general streamlining and possible replacement of unneeded cards kind of improvement. :/

If you don't rely on nocturnus, why have it in the deck? If you say because it helps in certain situations, then why not have four?

@Splintergeist, I believe zandl was just attributing his success to the deck to the metagame at his shop rather than questioning the accuracy of the success.

zandl clearly stated that a deck of 60+ cards, a mid-range style deck with vexing devils, vampire nocturnus with a relatively low amount of black spells, and the inclusion of tablet of guilds are all no-no's. That sounds like suggestions to me.

So can I assume that this is aiming to be a combo deck for my suggestions since combo is one of the hubs that you put? The combos that I see are Falkenrath Aristocrat /Desecration Demon + Blood Artist & Olivia Voldaren + Vampire Nocturnus /Stromkirk Captain , so firstly, I would like to reccomend that you get at least 2 more olivias and some more desecration demons and falkenrath aristocrats. You do have 4 blood artists in the deck, but if you want his older brother, consider adding some Falkenrath Noble s. To be honest, Vexing Devil and Tablet of the Guilds are creating some antisynergy with your cards, so it would be more helpful to replace those cards. :) Let me know if you have any other questions.

I've got some suggestions. First Thatcher Revolt would go wonderfully in here to combo with Blood Artist and Falkenrath Aristocrat . Then there's Cryptborn Horror who would be nice for when your vampires start hurting the opponent. He also combos well with Blood Artist now that I think about it. If you have the money (I'm assuming you do with this deck's cost being $452) Rakdos, Lord of Riots would be brutal because of how fast you could crank out vampires. I understand that the last two aren't vampires but consider them anyway. Lastly there's Falkenrath Torturer , who would work nicely with Thatcher Revolt and, of course, Blood Artist . As for things to take out I agree with pretty much everyone else, you've gotta lose Vexing Devil and Tablet of the Guilds ; I understand that they're good cards and maybe they've saved you a lot, but if you make the deck work more smoothly (everything contributes to the strategy) then you won't need to be saved! And, honestly, if this many people say to lose them it's probably a good idea.

Thanks AirlockFart of the suggestions I really like them and I will try them out since I have 3x rakdos lord of riots . The vexing devils are really there because it cost 1r to cast a creature that hits the field and would 4damage if the opponent chooses to sack it but if blood artist is on the field ilt does 5 instead which is really important but I like your valid suggestions and will make the changes to see how things work out .

Also people this is going to be simple to understand and I think I've been nice enough with the dumb comments and arrogance . This is my deck not every other vampire deck. This deck was made from my ideas and nothing more . If you feel something doesn't belong just make a suggestion that isn't ignorant or insulting and I will welcome it . If you challenge my skill level or make open comments against me, my fnm without a proper valid point then do not comment and move along. The cards I have in this deck has been working really well but I'm open to suggestions and valid points which I have mentioned already. I will not be so nice from here on out especially wasted my comment space which is for appraisal or suggestions . Thank you everyone for the advice it has been taken into account and will be play tested .

AirlockFart cryptborn horror and rakdos perform really well in this deck thank you for the suggestions. It really improved this deck . Plus I get to FINALY use my altered art cryptborn horror I recieved from doing well at the tournament lol

maybe take out 2x Dreadbore for 2x Brimstone Volley

Been playtesting with a blood artist combo deck and its doing pretty well, check it out: Draw Me Like One Of Your French Girls

If you're playing with Rakdos, Lord of Riots, what do you think about Mikaeus, the Unhallowed ? It would buff up all your other creatures, plus let your creatures die twice with Blood Artist on the field.
