Uncommon Card Suggestions: Gifted Aetherborn, Vampire Nighthawk, Stromkirk Bloodthief, Urge to Feed, Hero's Downfall

Rare Budget Options: Cordial Vampire, Captivating Vampire, Preacher of the Schism, Nighthawk Scavenger, Qarsi Revenant

Budget Mythic Otion: Bloodline Keeper  Flip

Stromkirk Bloodthief- Is just a better version of the Savage Gorger as the counter can be placed on itself or anotehr vampire if it proves more useful.

Gifted Aetherborn & Vampire Nighthawk- great low cost deathtouch lifelink creatures that fit your theme. Aetherborn at the very least replaces Blood Burglar as a pure upgrade.

Cordial Vampire - is a better lord (+1/+1 to all vampires) then the Thirsting Bloodlord and would be an upgrade option.

Nighthawk Scavenger & Qarsi Revenant - are stronger options but slightly more expensive upgrades to the Vampire Nighthawk if you like hte idea of that creature.

Cordial Vampire - is a card option that tiggers when when your creatures or opponent's creatures die, meaning all the deathtouch creatures that trade into something would trigger the Cordial at least twice putting two +1/+1 counters on EACH of your vampires. This is also strong when paired with creature removal spells as well.

Preacher of the Schism - solid option to give card draw (or lifelink tokens when behind on life) on a sturdy body that has deathtouch making it hard for Opponents to block effectively.

Arterial Flow is a strictly better option to Mind Rot as you drain life for having any of your creatures on board.

Removal option Urge to Feed will likely serve your deck better then Sorin's Thirst. Feed be used as a good combat trick both offensively and defensively. If you are defending, after declaring blocks you could shrink an attacker (even if not killing it) and then choose to tap your creatures to grow them and surprise opponents.

If you want to have a better protection spell then Dark Remedy I would suggest Armor of Shadows as the card only costs 1 and gives indestructible to help protect your creater from destroy effects and it also still gives that 1 power as a combat trick still.

Hero's Downfall is a strictly better Murder as it costs the same mana, btu allwos you to remove walkers as a option.

These card suggestions will still keep your deck fairly casual and I tried to sugget cards that are budget friendly with the most expensive still being under 5$ to obtian and fit your theme. Hope these card ideas help.

What do you mean by 3 or 2? If you are talking about the tier, "I think" that is related to how many GCs are in the build.

Cordial Vampire

Captivating Vampire

Legion Lieutenant

Bloodline Keeper  Flip

Mavren Fein, Dusk Apostle

For white control effects, you're spot on I'd say, with effects like Preacher or Debt of Loyalty.

Also, Olivia Voldaren is red in addition to black, and Threaten-effects are a mainstay there, it's Captivating Vampire that's the rare "flavor over color pie"-effect we're talking about.

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 would think that Captivating Vampire and Cordial Vampire would work well with your deck. Here is my own vampire deck. It's more Rakdos but you could see some different vampires at least. Vampires

All suggestions are mono black vampires and fit more of an aristocrats build.

Lords - Captivating Vampire buffs the squad and gives the ability of stealing an opponent’s creature

Vampire Nocturnus buffs the squad, gives evasion and since you’re mono black can play with the top of your library visible

1 drops - Knight of the Ebon Legion is the best 1 drop vamp imo. Can buff itself, gains permanent buffs and doubles as removal mid-late game

Viscera Seer a great sac target and let’s you scry 1

Vampire Cutthroat has skulk and lifelink

Vampire Lacerator a 2/2 for 1, you take one damage unless your opponent has 10 or less life

Indulgent Aristocrat a decent buffer with a sac engine

Guul Draz Vampire gains a buff if the opponent has 10 or less life

Pulse Tracker opponent takes 1 damage when it attacks

2 drops - Cordial Vampire not a lord in name, but has that buffing ability and triggers when ANYTHING dies. Buffs the team more efficiently than any lord imo.

Bloodghast a vital piece imo, it can’t block, but comes back when you play a land

Blood Artist a key piece for an aristocrat build, combos great with cordial and Vito

Asylum Visitor for card draw and the ability to come back

Kalastria Highborn great addition for a drain and gain/aristocrat build

Vraan, Executioner Thane combos great with Vito

Stromkirk Condemned can buff the team for a turn

Vampire Hexmage great sideboard piece for dealing with counters

Gifted Aetherborn might be favorite vampire, but doesn’t fit an aristocrat build

3 drops - Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord the only walker you need. Buffs, gives deathtouch & lifelink to a vampire, acts as a Lightning Helix and you cheat out a vampire

Silversmote Ghoul is a perfect target for Sorin’s second ability and comes back at the end of your end step

Vampire Nighthawk one of the best vampires imo, has evasion, deathtouch and lifelink, but doesn’t fit the aristocrat build

Nighthawk Scavenger a vampire goyf

Drana, Liberator of Malakir has evasion, first strike and buffs attacking creatures

Lands - Cavern of Souls an absolute MUST for any tribal build

Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth flips things to swamps

Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx is great for all devotion the build will have

Castle Locthwain for card draw later

Prismatic Vista, Verdant Catacombs, Polluted Delta, Marsh Flats & Bloodstained Mire to fetch and thin out your deck to keep the gas flowing.

Nice little build, ignore any suggestions that are not budget friendly, giving everything I can think of. Increase Sorin to 4, he’s very powerful and gets hate quick. 2 Vito should be fine. 4 Cordial Vampire, his ability is universal, not just your creatures dying. 2 Silversmote Ghoul work extremely well with Sorin’s second ability and comes back. 2 Vraan, Executioner Thane works great with Vito. Knight of the Ebon Legion is pump-able and doubles as a removal spell in the late game. Blood Artist combo’s well with cordial and several others. If you’re looking for a lord, Captivating Vampire is great with a decent second ability. Bloodghast is nice and comes back. 4 locthwain is perfect. 2 Cavern of Souls for tribal and protection. Fetches thin out your deck, Prismatic Vista works since this is mono colored. Verdant Catacombs, Polluted Delta, Marsh Flats & or Bloodstained Mire work too.

Really cool deck! I've always liked lifegain and deathtouch. So, here's what I can offer:

You’ll want to lower your mana curve. You have a lot of 5 drops; without ramp, the deck seems too slow. The game, if uninterrupted, should end within 6 turns.

I'd drop Anowon, the Ruin Sage. Being a 5 drop, an "easily" removable creature, and a "beginning of your upkeep" trigger, he is too slow. You could maybe keep 1 if you only had 2 Bloodlord of Vaasgoth.

I like Bloodlord of Vaasgoth with all the lifelink. He’ll make early drop creatures more relevant later game. I’d only include 2 of him if you’d like to go a more aggro route; maybe include 4 of him if you’d rather delay the early game with removal and play the later game.

With Captivating Vampire, “tap five” feels really expensive without some vampire token generator. However, I guess each time you steal a creature, that creature could be tapped too (kind of) costing you 1 less each time. The “lords” +1/+1 for 3 mana is always good in tribal decks. I’d probably only include 2 Captivating Vampire and then find 2 lifelink vampires for 2 or 3 mana. Maybe Vampire of the Dire Moon for the early game meat shield. She really can slow down the early game.

I'd replace Child of Night with Gifted Aetherborn. With deathtouch, you can move into a “bad touch” (deathtouch + trample) strategies or a “ping” strategies like deathtouch + Viridian Longbow. That bow will also allow you to ping the player enabling Bloodthirsty 3. That blow has a high equip cost but could be versatile for you.

I see what you’re trying to do with Skeletal Grimace. This is mono black, you could also consider the reanimation strategy; a couple Unearths for the lower costing creatures, maybe 1 Zombify for the 5 drops.

You should have 4 Dismembers. With all your lifegain, that removal card is really good. It’ll even remove indestructible creatures. You probably want 2 or more Feed the Swarm in the main deck instead of any Doom Blade. It’s more versatile and you have the life gain to compensate for its drawback. I’d probably go with 4 Feast of Blood if you add more 1 and 2 drop vampires. All this removal may be good enough to delay the early game then setup with big vampires later.

Your going to want card draw. May I suggest replacing Demon's Horn with something like Read the Bones.
