Solemnity won't make you loved at the table, but it does exactly what you ask.

Thief of Blood seems way more fun though.

Oof, thanks for the effort, hope it didn't take too long. Magnetic Web has long deserved a home, thanks for that reminder in particular

Here's hoping for color shifted Thief of Blood

We are running a budget deck challenge at a local game store. my win con is technically hit them but it's also stop them from doing things when I hit them where it's Palisade Giant taking all the blockers damage when I attack or when I board wipe all plains walkers with Thief of Blood and so on with destroying creatures or just trying to make the game harder. I'm also trying to make it fun and funny where they can't do something. The challenge if your interested is; Commander, $25 limit (sol ring, command tower, and lands excluded), no precon commanders, and no infinite combos. I had to remove a card because I could just pull all my creatures out with 3 cards Carrion Feeder, Karmic Guide and, Reveillark.

I spoke to iamhikari:

Plan: Pivot towards aristocrats, lower the CMC, maybe more taxing. Though I think going more into the Monarch theme might be more fun/unique. We can try this first:

For starters:

-1 Beseech the Queen
-1 Deliver Unto Evil
-1 Wild Ricochet
-1 Call the Coppercoats
-1 Assemble the Legion

Mana fix and ramp:

-1 Worn Powerstone
-1 Gilded Lotus
+1 Exotic Orchard
+1 Talisman of Conviction
+1 Wayfarer's Bauble
+1 Talisman of Hierarchy ...can also +1
Talisman of Indulgence , but it's slightly pricier.

Expand reach and lower CMC of your removal:

-1 Return to Dust
-1 Terminate
-1 Comeuppance
+1 Chaos Warp
+1 Generous Gift ....alternatively there are some 2 mana removal cards in Strixhaven that might be fun to try out.
+1 either Path to Exile or the cheaper Dire Tactics
+1 Soul-Guide Lantern

Fun monarch theme and control: +1 Court of Grace
+1 Court of Ambition
-1 Black Market
-1 Ixalan's Binding

Pivot to Aristocrats:

-1 Neheb, the Eternal
-1 Thief of Blood
-1 Tectonic Giant
+1 Cruel Celebrant
+1 Syr Konrad, the Grim
+1 Bastion of Remembrance

Still need to deal with your creatures and maybe do some more token generation or something. I'll keep thinking and get back to you.

Hey, you're welcome. Nice update so far.

Yes, Cliffhaven Vampire is an upgrade for Epicure of Blood because Cliffhaven is one less mana and has flying. Etchings of the Chosen is a good card with Vamp tokens, it's a an upgrade for Ethereal Absolution or Curse of Vitality .

For €10 get Captivating Vampire 5, Drana, Liberator of Malakir 3, Sol Ring 1. Sol is a staple card in Commander for ramp and it helps when playing a lot of high CMC cards. Having a powerful three drop Vamp to curve into after one and two drops Vamps with Vamp tokens is good for the mid game. Drana, Liberator of Malakir and Captivating Vampire are two of the better three drop Vamps to get damage done in the mid game until you can cast Edgar or Regent later on.

Changes to consider to add these three are:

• Captivating Vampire --> Bloodbond Vampire
• Drana, Liberator of Malakir --> Blood Baron of Vizkopa
• Sol Ring --> Teysa Karlov

You still want to cut three cards to make 100. Cards to consider cutting:

• Thief of Blood : Thief removes all counters from your creatures too and Edgar puts counters on your creatures.
• Ethereal Absolution
• Grave Betrayal

---

My advice for the next upgrades are to improve the manabase and ramp by adding more dual lands that can ETB untapped and mana rocks to improve ramp. This can be done by cutting lands that always ETB tapped and some five/four/three CMC cards for ramp to help to cast the better high CMC cards such as Edgar. This change will speed up game play making it easier to cast one, two and three drop Vamps.

The avg. CMC of your deck is high at 3.5, with only 33 lands can be inconsistent to have mana to cast cards. Low CMC mana rocks can be used in place of lands since they can make mana and also help with color fixing.

Some examples of mana rock and budget land upgrades:

• Arcane Signet --> Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief
• Orzhov Signet --> Kheru Bloodsucker
• Boros Signet --> Malakir Cullblade
• Rakdos Signet --> Blood for Bones
• Caves of Koilos --> Forsaken Sanctuary
• Exotic Orchard --> Boros Guildgate
• Battlefield Forge --> Stone Quarry
• Smoldering Marsh --> Rakdos Guildgate
• Tainted Field --> Orzhov Guildgate

Anything that lets you recast your vampires would be good. Palace Siege etc.

Depending on who you play you might need a couple things to give your boss hexproof or shroud. maybe protection from a color.
