That doesn't work. the point is their burns do less damage.

maybe 2xKolaghan's Command?

Some people run it. I find Terminate far more useful outside of the affinity matchup. Which has never given me problems anyway.

This is soo sweet and I love that it is Vampires. Nocturnis is very good and I like how the cards that are red also cater to Vampire Nocturnus. I am seeing something that would potentially make this even faster. I couldnt help but suggest Collected Company, due to already having Verdant Catacombs. It would in turn be Jund instead of Rakdos, and that is on the other hand, not what you decided to build. Regardless man +1 from this guy.

Verdant Catacombs is a fetch land. It fetches for swamps, hence Blood Crypt. It can be used in a deck that is in no way shape or form green. I'm actually not against the idea throwing in 2 Overgrown Tomb and splashing green. But it would be for Abrupt Decay, Kessig Wolf Run, sided Krosan Grip and maybe Maelstrom Pulse. Back to Nature if Bogle starts looking scary.

I'm considering dropping Drana. I would almost say she's too slow. If I did I'd add the 4th Nighthawk or another Kalitas.

To expand on my earlier comment: the 8 fetch lands, Verdant Catacombs and Bloodstained Mire are effectively like running 12 Blood Crypts. Only they're even better since I can force a shuffle for Nocturnus or flash Bloodghast back into play at their end step for only 1 life.

I'm not going to lie to you I finished this deck IRL for myself. I have to thank you.

And what of the new Olivia, Mobilized for War for your 1 of Drana, Liberator of Malakir.

She really doesn't fit into this build. She looks like she'd be incredible in a deck with 4 Falkenrath Gorger, 4 Asylum Visitor and 4 Heir of Falkenrath. That and the usual Viscera Seer + Bloodghast engine, probably with Stromkirk Captain for buffs.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery @Casey4321. Be sure to let me know how it performs for you. A big part of why I do so well with it is I know this deck and the modern meta better than the back of my hand.

I took it to Modern last night. (My LGS does modern on Thursdays.) It turned some heads. It also went 4-1 so...Hell yeah.

What was the loss?

The bane got me. B Eldrazi

You're in good shape then. They'll be gone in a month.

Aye. Many thanks for this great fun.

Don't forget to credit me for the idea, k?

Of course. People asked about it and I gave them your name on Tappedout and the deck title. (I did alter it by one card because I don't have Kaltias) I added an extra Drana. But I still let everyone know.

Awesome. Thanks a lot Casey.

It's actually funny that I'm thinking about dropping Drana for another Kalitas. How did she perform for you?

I like her as I play the deck very aggressively though I agree it's a bit of a non-bo with Stromkirk Captain.

Still one of my favorite decks on this website. Haha. K-Command is a great card, but I agree that it does not fit here. I actually agree with you on the Drana switch, I think Kalitas is a better card here. My only issue with Drana is no haste. I realize she's busted with it, but without it she feels lackluster. Just my personal opinion.

If you hadn't noticed, I top ranked again recently. You're not alone there Scy.

completely forgot to upvote!

Tried it loved it. Kalitas is nice but it's a 4 drop and the curve is kind of high.
