Blade of the Bloodchief

Artifact — Equipment

Whenever a creature is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, put a +1/+1 counter on equipped creature. If equipped creature is a Vampire, put two +1/+1 counters on it instead.

Equip (: Attach this to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery. This enters the battlefield unattached and stays on the battlefield if the creature this card is attached to leaves the battlefield.)

Interesting take on broodscale, any reason for omitting Blade of the Bloodchief? Card is pretty cheap and wombo combos big time with broodscale...you probably already know that since it's the main archetype of the deck :P But if you were just trying to do something off-beat that is cool.

Oh yeah I totally forgot they made Naya Ulasht, the Hate Seed! Seems like a bunch of Ulasht staples like Mana Echoes might go pretty nuts in this. Skullclamp and Basilisk Collar also seem obligatory. If you have mana sac outlets like Ashnod's Altar/Phyrexian Altar plus your Ivy Lane/Blade of the Bloodchief this is a simple way of infing out, Ashnod's Altar seems especially good here since you net mana and Marath can already target players, if you have a counter doubler or mana filter it's an instant kill. One thing Ulasht has on Marath though is the ability to employ the all powerful Utopia Mycon :) Also Kamahl, Fist of Krosa animate all their lands and snipe them with Marath/Goblin Sharpshooter is pretty funny

I'll treat yours as a Bracket 2 with no tutors.

Okay, so replace Savra, Queen of the Golgari with Grave Pact or Dictate of Erebos. I'm assuming you want the card advantage, but this is better because 1) any of your creatures dying triggers it, and 2) it doesn't cost you life. At the same time, it won't gain you life either the way Savra will, but since lifegain is negligible...yeah.

Anguished Unmaking > Mortify Sure, you shock yourself, but you exile (which is permanent except for like, two cards that no one ever plays) any nonland permanent.

Morbid Opportunist is insane in Ghave. There is no reason you shouldn't be able to draw on each turn (not "each of your turns", each turn). The same goes for Welcoming Vampire.

Have you considered No Mercy? Ghave is kind of a KOS commander because of his potential for combos and Stax. No Mercy punishes players for attacking you.

Fertilid is just bad. I'd rather play Explosive Vegetation than Fertilid, and there are like, five strictly betters for Veggies.

Viscera Seer and Jar of Eyeballs are nice for consistency.

Blade of the Bloodchief gives you more +1/+1 counters.

Spike Weaver is another "just try and attack me" card. I like it more than Spike Feeder, which is only good in that it goes infinite with Archangel of Thune. Since you're trying to avoid infinite combos, I would avoid going that way.

Corpse Knight, Bastion of Remembrance, Cruel Celebrant, Zulaport Cutthroat, just pick a couple of these because they add a win condition in case an opponent uses Ghostly Prison and friends, or worse, Moat.

seshiro_of_the_orochi -
Thanks much for the comments and suggestions. Some thoughts ...

  • Tarrian's Soulcleaver and Blade of the Bloodchief are great on other creatures (they basically turn anyone into a Venomcrawler). But they don't do anything for Massacre Girl at all.
  • Thinking about Fake Your Own Death: Yeah, like I say in the description, I've got "a few blink effects for Elektra, for when the party gets out of hand again". But I probably need to either add more or delete the package entirely. With my current 5x cards (Synod Sanctum, Voyager Staff, Erratic Portal, Conjurer's Closet, and Demonic Gifts), I only have a 54% chance of having one by Turn 7, and that's not as consistent as I'd like. But to justify more, I'd really need to swap a bunch of creatures out for ones with ETB effects (currently I only have 7 creatures worth blinking). Hmmm ...
  • You might not have noticed it in the deck description, but "I'm already bringing plenty of salt to the table with a repeatable board-wipe in the Command Zone; I don't want to bring much more. As an example, I'm avoiding Blood Artist effects." So thanks, but Bastion of Remembrance is right out.
  • Similarly, you might not have noticed that I said "I mostly play in an ultra-budget (USD $25) Bracket 2 pod. So ... any card above USD $3 has to be better for the deck than Skullclamp". Grave Betrayal is good, but it's no Skullclamp. And Revel in Riches is great, but ridiculously overpriced for this deck.

Thanks again; cheers!

I like the general direction you're taking with the Girl. As far as wincons go, she's propably a pretty great voltron. To go a little harder into that aspect of hers, maybe try Tarrian's Soulcleaver and Blade of the Bloodchief. Also, you might want a way to re-use your Girl: Fake Your Own Death and similar effects combined with your sac outlets are a black way of blinking. Finally, some damage effects or other possible wincos that don't die to the Girl seem important. Bastion of Remembrance, Grave Betrayal and Revel in Riches seem pretty powerful for that.

Enjoy your further brewing! :D

I feel like Cordial Vampire is a must in a Tribal vampire deck with counters

As for an Enchantment, i would recommend Stensia Masquerade to get first strike and protect your vampire a little more.

A good addition for equipment would be Blade of the Bloodchief

Wiping the board is essential in that kind of deck to finish off the game, i would suggest Olivia's Wrath

I noted that you currently have two times Rakdos Signet and 40 lands is kind of a lot since you do have mana rocks too. I would bring it down to a maximum of 37 lands

Recommended cards that aren't black but feel like they should/could be:

The One Ring: This is black card draw.

Skrelv, Defector Mite: Mostly the phyrexian mana and artwork. Highly useful for the one shot kill.

Suspicious Bookcase: Some of the artwork on this card comes straight from Halloween.

Defiler of Faith: Life as a resource.

Shadowspear: Lore-wise it's a corrupted weapon from the underworld.

Basilisk Collar: Both keywords are common in black.

Blackblade Reforged: Literally a demon's sword.

Nettlecyst: Black token and phyrexian.

Tarrian's Soulcleaver: Graveyard synergy.

Bloodforged Battle-Axe: Mostly artwork/name/flavor.

Grafted Exoskeleton: Black themed downside. Infect in black's wheelhouse.

Bloodthirsty Blade: Blood as a cost.

Blade of the Bloodchief: Death as a benefit.

Quietus Spike: Multiple black creatures have this effect.

Hope that helps.

Lair of the Hydra is sweet. My buddy ran a pretty nice deck that used Leyline of Abundance and Tyvar, Jubilant Brawler to pump this guy up huge. Your deck looks more oriented around Broodscale combo. You might consider adding different pieces for some redundancy maybe Blade of the Bloodchief / Urza's Saga? I also highly rec looking at Glittering Company for about the most well-tuned and still updated Collected Company toolbox combo list you will find!
