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.

ChocolatePuma +1 for your name alone.

Seems like you have a lot of wincons. How has your deck been functioning as a result of your various wincons, do you feel if you were to remove 1-2 you might be able to streamline the deck? What kind of suggestions are you looking for?

I agree with the user saying you need draw. I count about 4-5 pieces of draw. An effective budget option like Syphon Mind is worth considering given you draw 3, each opponent discard 1. Another option is Read the Bones

Murderous Rider/Hero's Downfall and Spreading Plague are good removal to consider as well.

Hmmm, ok that's true... I will cut Hero's Downfall, thanks for the explaination

I really like Sudden Spoiling, but you're right, since it doesn't destroy anything, it doesn't fit so well in a deck, that wants to destroy... ^^

But I like that the card affects ALL enemy creatures... All my Sorceries and Instants destroy just 1 card, so I dont get any card advantage... Do you know some cards, that fit in my deck and destroy multible targets?

Thank you zapyourtumor for all your advices

Please can you explain, why Sudden Spoiling and Hero's Downfall are not playable in Modern? I thought they are good cards... In my oppinion Sudden Spoiling is such a powerfull card, and its an Instant, so I can use it for both attack and defense

Once I had 4x Blightning in my deck, but I needed the place for other cards... Its a cool card, but yeah, you're right... with just 1 card like that unfortunately it doesnt fit well anymore in my deck. I will cut it

Yes i know, most deathtouch decks are BG, but I wanted to try something else when I started building the deck... ^^

Thanks again for all the tips, I'm deffinitiv gonna try some of your cards... Lets see

Crow_Umbra, I apologize in advance for the wall of text below. Your deck is very interesting and got me thinking. If you don't want to respond to each point below, I can't blame you. In the end, I hope these suggestions help or at least get the gears turning. Looking forward to your response.

Skullclamp - Draw

Sakura-Tribe Elder/Rampant Growth > Farseek - Rampant growth gives you the option to get either a basic forest or basic swamp tapped. Farseek is only a swamp tapped. Rampant growth is a strict upgrade given you have no swamps aside from a basic swamp would benefit from the distinction.

Viridian Longbow - Idk if this is too cheeky but given all your deathtouch, this might be worth considering.

Academy Manufactor - This card seems perfect for the deck. You make a lot of treasures, you get more artifacts. You also occasionally make food tokens. If you added tireless tracker (not saying you should per say) then it triggers on clues. All around seems solid. Is this a reason I'm missing for why this isn't included?

Mastermind Plum > Preacher of the Schism - Seems kind of cool, got some synergy. Your description mentioned this is potentially on the cutting block. Given you already have enough deathtouch, would draw not outweigh the redundancy?

Infectious Bite > Bite Down - Given that this is removal 95% of the time according to your description, would the potential for a poison counter to fuel fin outweigh the possibility of killing a PW that isn't there 19/20 times?

Bootleggers' Stash - At the risk of being too on the nose/winmore, could this help? Same question with Parallel Lives.

I read your description regarding the token meta. Below are some anti token suggestions. Some of them are straight up hate, other of them are flexible, depends on what you're going for (in order of most token hate to flexibility)....

Virulent Plague - Straight up hate

Bile Blight - Removal with token emphasis

Maelstrom Pulse - Flexible removal spell (works well against clones too!)

Pernicious Deed - X = 0, bye bye tokens. Or use it normally to wipe when things get out of hand. I see its in your maybeboard, I believe this card warrants a spot the most out of any suggestion above or below.

Liquimetal Torque - What do you primarily use its second ability for? I get that you can make something an artifact to trigger some life loss. Given this deck is low to the ground, would you not be potentially better served with a Jet Medallion or Emerald Medallion? I suppose it depends on how much you value the lifeloss from artifacts + politic to make something artifact for other removal over the additional ramp the medallions can provide.

Kura, the Boundless Sky - What does this provide? I see no anti token, treasure or land token aspect. Perhaps I'm missing somehting?

Saryth, the Viper's Fang - I understand the deathctouch and hexproof anthem. Given your meta is mostly aggro, how many wipes do people typically use? Given your deck already goes wide, wouldn't most people just wipe the board anyways? I definitely see the benefit for sure, just wondering how this card performs and if it could be swapped for something either more impactful such as a Demonic Tutor or something more on theme in your maybeboard?

Questing Beast - I get that it likely wouldn't be blocked by tokens, is that it's primary purpose? Given that you also mentioned there are not a lot of PW's in the meta, would you not be better served with a general removal spell such as Hero's Downfall?

Guardian Project - How often do people kill your creature in response to the trigger to deny you card draw? Not saying to remove it, just curious is all.

I noticed you run torment, exsanguinate and damnable pact. While the latter can be used for an alt wincon, is it not draw most of the time? Assuming this, you run 2 X finishers and if not 3. Do you really need the redundancy? I believe another spell like Rise of the Dark Realms (also in maybeboard) could warrant an inclusion, especially given your aggro meta. I can understand the reluctance given that you are already taking their creatures anyways. If that's an issue, then maybe a Finale of Devastation? Recur/Tutor for a creature and go for the win through smashing face.

I wasn't sure what your budget per card is but this should hopefully not break the bank. I can recommend cuts should you wish

Feed the Swarm - Enchantment removal

Mind Twist - Note it states random, especially effective if ramped into in the early game. Also useful as counterspell bait.

Night's Whisper - Draw

Nightmare Unmaking - Versatile wipe

Sheoldred's Edict/Hero's Downfall - PW Removal

Bubbling Muck - Ramp! Highly recommended. Especially because you're not running urborg

Ill-Gotten Gains - Up to you, could be useful, could backfire.

Barter in Blood - Mass sacrifice

---------------------

Syphon Mind - Draw 3, each opponent discards 1

Burnished Hart - Ramp. Fuels defile, blackblade reforged, etc...

Solemn Simulacrum - Unsure of price, but potentially a consideration.

Bubbling Muck - Super ramp

Dark Ritual - Ramp

Deliver Unto Evil - Recursion, especially important for artifacts which are hard to recur

Extinction Event - Sometimes things need to be gone, forever

Feed the Swarm - Few ways to remove enchantments

Hero's Downfall/Murderous Rider - Walker removal

Mutilate - Gets around indestructible too

Oubliette - Commander hate

Nevinyrral's Disk - Artifact + Enchantment removal

Some cards to consider that can replace Murder: Poison the Cup , Murderous Rider , Putrefy, and the strictly better Hero's Downfall.

Love the LotR theme of the Deck!
