Braids, Arisen Nightmare

Legendary Creature — Nightmare

At the beginning of your end step, you may sacrifice an artifact, creature, enchantment, land or planeswalker. If you do, each opponent may sacrifice a permanent that shares a card type with it. For each opponent who doesn't, that player loses 2 life and you draw a card.

Looks great! Have you considered more non-creature haste-enablers? Rising of the Day could be good. You could even consider enchantments that give every creature haste, like Concordant Crossroads or Mass Hysteria. It just ensures more of your creatures will more easily create treasure while Ognis is around. Academy Manufactor brings insane value in this deck, considering all the treasure it will generate. I also really like Braids, Arisen Nightmare in a deck like this, because you're likely outgunning most other decks in terms of (artifact) tokem-generation.

not sure what your price cap is per card but Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, Braids, Arisen Nightmare, Oriq Loremage, no Fleshbag Marauder iterations. Just to name a few things you could be looking at

Venum Thanks for taking a look! I liked Szarel, Genesis Shepherd when it was spoiled, but I really wanted another Lands deck, and this one was a ton of fun to build.

I thought about Juri, Master of the Revue, but I like the feeling of repeatedly cycling through my lands, and she feels more like a one-time bomb if she gets built up correctly.

Mayhem Devil is on my short-list if/when I make further changes.

I'm already running Braids, Arisen Nightmare, and that kinda fills a similar niche to Braids, Cabal MinionGC. Plus, I like the potential card draw from Braids, Arisen Nightmare. I'm finding that I run through cards in my hand real quick with this deck, since I can usually dump all my lands onto the field by turn 3.

I've been slowly building a Goad deck, and Baeloth Barrityl, Entertainer is already one of the big pieces in that one. I don't think it would have a ton of synergy in this deck, but I'll definitely consider this.

Some more recent-ish vampire options:

Clavileno, First of the Blessed (Was a precon around him, which I bought and upgraded). Charismatic Conqueror, Bloodletter of Aclazotz, Preacher of the Schism, Master of Dark Rites, Qarsi Revenant, Edgar, Charmed Groom  ^Flip, Welcoming Vampire, Vein Ripper,

If you want to be mean you could also run Braids, Arisen Nightmare.

If you want some more damage effects you could run cards like Impact Tremors, and there's more recent versions like Warleader's Call.

I also really like Plumb the Forbidden.

Some other cool options: Black Market Connections, March of the Canonized, Invasion of New Capenna  ^Flip

Hi! Thanks for the comments! :)

Got some new cards yesterday, updated the deck accordingly. Removed these cards: Izoni, Thousand-Eyed The Gitrog Monster Smothering Abomination Unearth

I put in these: Spore Frog Viscera Seer Braids, Arisen Nightmare Animate Dead

Birthing Pod and Attrition is under consideration.

My budget? Well, I can't really spend more than 50 Euros for a single card... Total direction? Hmm. Not really sure what you mean. Do you think the deck theme is too spread out? And yes, I'll gladly discuss more! :)

Shatter the Oath and Early Winter are 5 mana, not a drawback but inefficient enchantment removal. Vile Mutilator is 7 mana plus a sacrifice. Withering Torment's been covered pretty well in this thread.

I also didn't really count Braids, Arisen Nightmare, which needs a sacrifice and let's the opponent choose the outcome.

I think it's too surprising Goldberserkerdragon lol. Skittles has been around like 15 years at this point, so it's not super surprising to have some homogeneity across decks, especially being limited to one color.

I know this isn't an aristocrats deck, but would you consider Braids, Arisen Nightmare as a draw/removal piece? You have plenty of non-creature permanents to feed her.
