#22 deck ranking! —Sept. 14, 2017

Holy Crap! With all your help this deck made it to a #22 ranking! I never expected any deck of mine to break #50, so this is amazing. Thanks for all the support to get this deck to #22!

If you have both Exquisite Blood & Sanguine Bond on your field at the same time, you have an infinite win combo there Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond , I do like the Reconnaissance card though, might have to add that to my Edgar deck.

SlumberingSin, I did notice the infinite combo with Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond and once Ixalan is out Sanguine Sacrament would be a great card to kick it off.

Fell the Mighty and Sorin's Vengeance both seem underwhelming. You have a pretty wide range of creatures, if you want a wrath that you can scale I'd suggest playing Toxic Deluge. Also, I think that you can just cut Sorin's Vengeance for basically anything you want to try out. Sure it can kill people out of no where sometimes, but its also a 7 mana spell that doesnt impact the board.

Curse of Vitality is not a very good card IMO. Aetherflux Reservoir would also seem helpful here. Have you considered Beacon of Immortality?

PlattBonnay: You kind of have to see Sorin's Vengeance in a bigger picture. Yes, it is a very situational card. However, 10 life lost is nothing to scoff at. Especially considering that I will be playing this later in the game when people have lost a good amount of life. With a combo like Sanguine Bond + Sorin's Vengeance I could either hit someone with 20 life in the face, or I could deal 10 damage to 2 people. I've been on the fence about Fell the Mighty it could be good in some situations, but I'll probably just cut it.

Daedalus19876: I do like Aetherflux Reservoir and Beacon of Immortality (especially the beacon) and I know that Curse of Vitality isn't the strongest curse out there. But, it provides incentive for people to attack someone I see as a threat. I feel Curse of Vitality is a decent incentive. Whenever I attack I get 2 life, and when someone else attacks they get 2 life and I get 2 life.

Thanks for the suggestions guys!

Theres too many things have to go right for vengeance to work. You're either killing someone or just pissing them off. Just keep track of how many times you draw it and its either uncastable or just irrelevant to the game as a whole.

Darkshadow327: I suppose. But in my meta, I would never attack someone for the incentive of gaining 2 life; it's just not substantial at all. IMO - if it works out for you, let me know! :)

Why not incentivise all your opponents to attack one another with a more rewarding payoff like Pain Magnification?

Daedalus19876, mostly I like Curse of Vitality for triggers. But I have been meaning to have Anointed Procession and Curse of Vitality switch places.

Consider adding cards like Hatred and Exsanguinate to finish someone off and hopefully gain a whole bunch of life. There are a few red cards that boost creatures into BAMFs, like Berserkers' Onslaught and Savage Beating. Shambling Vent is a good man-land that can gain you the occasional 2 life. Bontu's Monument fits well with your theme of big creatures hitting the floor hard and fast. Finally, you might want to consider investing in Necropotence to style it up some. I see you've invested in some of the more expensive vampire lords, so it'd be a good addition as well.
