Bishop's Soldier

Creature — Vampire Soldier

Lifelink

I would suggest switching out some of the cards that are a bit too focused, if that makes sense. For example Soothing Balm for Exsanguinate or Bishop's Soldier for Gifted Aetherborn. Otherwise this looks great! I included a few suggestions for mana fixing and protections. Need to keep your commander alive! Some of these are a bit expensive so they can be substituted later if you end up liking the deck and want to upgrade it.

I'll be honest. The deck is pretty much a hodgepodge of cards (that I assume you own), and although it has a unifying theme of vampires and lifelink, it isn't very tuned or optimized (no 4 ofs, barely any 3 ofs, tons of singletons). The curve is very high, especially for a modern deck, and a lot of the cards are pretty mediocre (ex. Bishop's Soldier). It depends on the LGS, but chances are you won't do very well at an FNM. If that's fine with you, great. But most people don't like losing every game.

I recommend you start from scratch, and pick a more specific theme instead of trying to improve this deck. Something like BW vampire tribal, and then start building based on that and the cards you currently have, and maybe buying some new ones.

Looks like fun, Amonkhet Gods are pretty interesting!

A few cards look a bit underpowered to me, here they are: Take Vengeance, Luminous Bonds, Knight's Pledge, Ixalan's Binding (in commander), Aerial Modification, and Bishop's Soldier. I’ll do some research and get back with some suggestions!

Probably some of your creatures that either don’t do much or cost too much for what they do. My suggestions are Asylum Visitor , Blood Baron of Vizkopa , and Bishop's Soldier

Madcookie on Does Oketra's Monument tokens let …

No, because the monument's token ability triggers on cast and not entering the battlefield which means it resolves while your cast creature is still on the stack and not in play. Basically say you cast a Bishop's Soldier , then create a token from Oketra's Monument , then the token entering the battlefield triggers Cloudstone Curio 's ability and you may select another creature that is already in play to return to your hand and during all of this Bishop's Soldier is still on the stack. Basically you can never circumvent Oketra's Monument cast and not ET trigger even if you decide to use a creature with split second. :(

If you can get them, Radiant Destiny and Sanctum Seeker are incredibly powerful, and would really help you if you're trying to be competitive. Also I would personally suggest Bishop's Soldier , Adanto Vanguard , and Sadistic Skymarcher as solid early drops. Also, Elenda, the Dusk Rose , Champion of Dusk , and Twilight Prophet are very powerful cards. Good luck, vampires are awesome! +1

Kogarashi on Anointer of Champions and Mentor …

Unfortunately this won't work. The last chance you have to buff a mentor creature is the beginning of combat step.

What happens is that you must attack with Sunhome Stalwart before you can target it with Anointer of Champions (because before that, Stalwart isn't an "attacking creature"). This triggers mentor, which goes on the stack before you have a chance to tap Anointer. The target for the mentor trigger must be chosen when it's put on the stack (still before you've been able to tap Anointer), and the game won't let you target Bishop's Soldier or similarly-sized creatures because they don't meet the requirement of "lesser power."

So by the time you can actually tap Anointer of Champions to make the Sunhome Stalwart bigger, you've already chosen a target for mentor, and it's not going to be a 2/2.

With Anointer of Champions , can I buff a mentor creature, such as Sunhome Stalwart , so that it can mentor a same-sized creature, say, Bishop's Soldier ? Or is it too late?
