Midnight Assassin

Creature — Vampire Assassin

I forgot about Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx. It's a little too high-end for me but I'm adding it in case I decide to finally invest in one. It's the reason Hammer of Nazahn is also currently sideboard.

The Midnight Assassin is because of how common dragon tribal is at my LGS. I just needed the lowest mana, 1 power flying deathtouch I could find in black to make them think twice about swinging anything too good at me.

I added Cabal Stronghold in place of a basic.

I return with a few more card recommendations!

Lands:

Westvale Abbey  Flip

It's ridiculously easy to sacrifice 5 creatures, temporarily of course, to turn the land into Ormendahl, Profane Prince  Flip, who is VERY good at letting you go Unga Bunga for a few turns before your opponents manage to deal with it.

Plaza of Heroes

It's functionally a Command Tower, but you want it for the emergency Shirei protection.

Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx

Absurdly good in literally any monocolor deck.

Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth

Makes sure you always have all the black mana you'll ever need, regardless of the number of utility lands you have. Gets more valuable the more utility lands you shove in, of course. Combos VERY nicely with Cabal Stronghold

Cabal Stronghold

I see it's in your maybeboard. 110% worth swapping out a basic swamp for this. The mana it can dish out for you on its own is nuts.

Last thing, I'd take out Midnight Assassin.

It's an alright blocker, but I think the slot could be used by something more synergistic. Cuz as that card stands, you spend mana to play it, and it doesn't do anything.

It’s a shame that Nighthawk Scavenger isn’t standard legal to replace Midnight Assassin (even Vampire Nighthawk would be an upgrade)
