Thanks for the tips

I already have Legion Lieutenant in the deck. But as far as Mirror Entity I made a rule for myself that all the creatures in my deck have vampire as their creature type. Adaptive Automaton is the only exception cause I think of it as my vampires making it.

I’ll definitely have to test Agadeem's Awakening  ^Flip vs Haunting Voyage and see how both work in my playgroup.

Thanks again

Hello!

Agadeem's Awakening  ^Flip would be a great substitute for Haunting Voyage, and it's a land. If you want graveyard recursion, I would suggest much cheaper options such as Phyrexian Reclamation or Underworld Breach

Adaptive Automation does not trigger a vamp token from Edgar when cast, and it does not buff itself. I think Legion Lieutenant would net more value

Thirsting Bloodlord is relatively low value in this deck at 4 mana, I would suggest replacing with Mirror Entity or a turn one vamp like Vampire of the Dire Moon for more reliable early game momentum

Enjoy!

Dope deck!

You might find that replacing Drana's Emissary with Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose will net you a ton more lifegain, and potential win condition. Also, I understand you want to keep your vamps low cost, but you might consider playing Champion of Dusk instead of Painful Truths or Pact of the Serpent. For Two extra mana you get a vampire body and it has the same text as Pact of the Serpent.

Agadeem's Awakening  ^Flip is a great replacement for a Swamp

Legion's Landing  ^Flip is insane in Edgar. Vamp n Ramp baby

Culling the Weak can lead to some pretty insane turn two vamp storms

Enjoy

From your current sideboard i would only keep the 3x Feed the Swarm - its a great card for creature AND enchantment matchups.

Seeing that you run Agadeem's Awakening  ^Flip i would surely play some creature based hate cards.
- 2x Blight Beetle - hates out heliod, humans & hardened scales & decent blicker against green fatties like Tarmogoyf , Elder Gargaroth , Tireless Tracker ... etc.
- 2x Yixlid Jailer - good grave hate
- 2x Plague Engineer - against tribal, tokens (and bloodghast)

For the rest 6x slots i would play:
- 2x Ashiok, Dream Render - good against grave decks,tutor decks (tron to a degree, titan, heliod, STORM ...etc.)
- 2x Bontu's Last Reckoning - fastes boardwipe in the format, you should only need languish in situations where you give up your board for better topdecking - in such situations, the drawback is minimal, while the cmc 3 means you can play it in time (for example even if you fail to hit land drops, or thalia is on the field ...etc.)
- 2x Damping Sphere - decent against storm, tron, izzet blitz, and the now OMNIPRESENT boros blitz.

In your maindeck you can do much better.
Viscera Seer is very underwhelming if you only have bloodghast to go with it - i would repkace them with 1x more fatal push, 1x targeted discard & 1x Vampire of the Dire Moon / Vampire Cutthroat / Shadow Alley Denizen (latter gives evasion).

And for now maindeckable lifegain is king, so contemplate running a number of Feast of Blood or Collective Brutality (i recommend the former, as its harder to partially fizzle with prowess & less punishing when countered)

And sincyou are monoblack you can affor to run decent black utility lands. Ghost Quarter & Field of Ruin is a must in some number. Castle Locthwain is great in topdeck wars.

And since you run fetches, i woul advise getting 1-2 Witch's Cottage for more recursion.

So for sideboard:
- 3x Feed the Swarm
- 2x Blight Beetle
- 2x Yixlid Jailer
- 2x Plague Engineer
- 2x Ashiok, Dream Render
- 2x Damping Sphere
- 2x Bontu's Last Reckoning

Rellos I never like to play tap lands if I can help it but Malakir Rebirth  ^Flip is one I've run in other decks, might be worth including here too.

I very much like Agadeem's Awakening  ^Flip that's a great idea. Maybe Symbiosis too but I always thought that was a lot of mana for very little payoff.

Agadeem's Awakening  ^Flip and Turntimber Symbiosis  ^Flip feel like they should be in here simple because at worse they are a land. maybe Malakir Rebirth  ^Flip also to protect Lathriel. Also I LOVE Bolas's Citadel in here!

This is a cool list! The only thing I would add are MDFCs/Utility Lands. Agadeem's Awakening  ^Flip seems like a no brainer, and Castle Locthwain seem pretty free as well. Have you tried out Ayara, First of Locthwain ? I've found her to be solid splitting with Vito. She still does the drain game while also providing another sac outlet that can drawn some cards. I could also see A couple Malakir Rebirth  ^Flip being reasonable, but for those I would trim spells so we could get the land count up to 25. Having a few more lands than you think you need is going to become important in historic with stone rain coming to the format soon. If we want to bring the curve up Gray Merchant of Asphodel is a really nice 1-2 punch with Vito.

Here's what I would do: -1 Vito, -2 Call, -6 Swamps,

+2 Ayara, +4 Agadeem's, +3 Castle.

Looking forward to bringing a version of this to the ladder!

Update: Many a moon have past since i've made any tunings to the deck.

here is the minuscule change since last we talked:

Minus 
       
       Basalt Monolith
       
     Add 
       
       Liliana, Heretical Healer
       
    
     Flip

Why: Basalt Monolith while goes infinite with Rings of Brighthearth , I already have an infinite mana loop set with Lotus Petal . Lili gives me better hand control and with the option of recursion. this leaves Rings on the cutting table.

Minus 
       
       Agadeem's Awakening
       
    
     Flip Add 
       
       War Room
       
    

Why: War Room is card draw plain and simple, regardless of awakening "ALSO" being a land, all im really looking for is card draw.

Minus 
       
       Fleshbag Marauder
       
     Add 
       
       Phyrexian Obliterator
       
    

Why: Fleshbag although the OG is the weakest of the flesh bag effects. Obliterator is an aggressive threat that demands to be dealt with or the game practically ends, is a good finisher, probably the most punishing card I could ever imagine seeing in a Tergrid deck.
