Help needed with a Budget Mono Red Vamp deck! :)

Modern Deck Help forum

Posted on July 28, 2016, 2:43 a.m. by Retic

With the abundance of R vamps spoiled in SOI and EMN, I decided to dust off my INN/DA/AVR bunch of cards for (casual) Modern play.

The most "competitive" scene I'll prolly go to would be the local FNM environment and I don't have any plans getting top tier Red pieces like Goblin Guide and Vexing devil.

Here is the TappedOut link: Red Vamps Win

This is my dilemma as of now:

Creatures (mostly vamps)

NOTE: I know Goldnight Castigator is no vamp but a 4cc haste fatty hitting for 4 that can't be bolted is too much to pass up!

Support Spells

  • 4 lightning bolt

  • 7 d

  • 21 mountain

a - c slots: undecided between

  1. Bloodcrazed Neonate
  2. Furyblade Vampire
  3. Ravenous Bloodseeker
  4. Falkenrath Reaver
  5. Bloodmad Vampire
  6. Rakish Heir
  7. Incorrigible Youths
  8. Crossway Vampire

d undecided between

  1. Burn from Within
  2. Goblin Heelcutter
  3. Vampiric Fury
  4. Firemantle Mage
  5. Sparkmage's Gambit
  6. Hammerhand

The original plan I had was to go heavy on R vampires and seal the deal with Vampiric fury.

Then I thought that maybe a safer approach (aka, can manage to "survive" an early fatty ie: Ulamog) to have 7 - 11 "cannot block" effects via crossway vamp, goblin heelcutter plus sparkmage's gambit and/or hammerhand to keep the .

Another line of thought is to (ab)use the Madness mechanic re-introduced.

Thoughts?

Thanks in Adv.! :)
