Twilight Prophet

Creature — Vampire Cleric

Flying

Ascend (If you control ten or more permanents, you get the city's blessing for the rest of the game.)

At the beginning of your upkeep, if you have the city's blessing, reveal the top card of your library and put it into your hand. Each opponent loses X life and you gain X life, where X is that card's converted mana cost/mana value.

I don't like the timebug - feels slow

I kinda like Chronozoa and Deadly Grub - cool but not great

I love Descent into Avernus

I like subversion and other Creeping Bloodsucker type effects

Braids is almost certainly going to help the table more than it helps you

There are better evasion tools than prowlers helm and trailblazers boots. See ex: Aether Tunnel - Sword Coast Sailor - Security Bypass

There is better removal than Terminate

Suggestions:

Twilight Prophet could be a nice fit

Inspiring Refrain

Phyrexian Arena

Suspended Sentence could be cute

In the Darkness Bind Them

Baleful Strix is generic good

Dragonfire Blade

Rogue's Passage

Vegetables: you have 2 protection spells and 4 boot type effects - almost enough to keep obeka on the board. +4 including counterspells means you will likely only be able to protect her once, maybe twice.

I'm counting 5 evasion effects, +menace is not quite enough to be able to consistently relay on landing damage.

I would add at least 2 swamps. really +3-4 lands would be ideal to be able to hit 3 colors. It's going to be hard for you to play any of your spells with 2 black mana with the current color producing distribution. I would just go for 1/3 each color as the first adjustment.

There is no such thing as too much card draw

Much thanks for the +1 and thoughtful suggestion, KongMing. I was not aware of Twilight Prophet and probably never would have found it on my own. I'm not completely smitten with its 4MV but I can see it really hammering my opponents. I'm thinking it's probably going in as a singleton in place of a Guard Gomazoa. I don't think the deck could handle losing anything else.

Maybe some indirect life loss could be handy too, like with Twilight Prophet. Like you say, multiplayer is mean.

@Vessiliana I think you're right in that Vampire Socialite is probably the easiest thing to cut from my current list, but my one hangup is I'd almost certainly replace her with a higher costed card. Things on my mind are at this point: Baron Bertram Graywater, Ruthless Lawbringer, Vein Ripper, Bolas's Citadel, and Twilight Prophet. I wanna keep my mana curve as low as possible even with all the ramp for the sake of consistency.

Decided I want to keep Vito in this build. My last game by turn 5 I had Vito, Vraan, Bloodletter, Sanctum Seeker, Cordial and Master of Dark Rites in play. That was a fun one.

@Vessiliana Florian does honestly feel like an obvious cut, but it bugs me to have so little red in this deck. Also, the replacement options are all higher mana. The things I want to include are Baron Bertram Graywater, Vein Ripper, Ruthless Lawbringer, Twilight Prophet, or Drana and Linvala.

axxein I'm really glad to hear you liked the deck. To answer your question about Sanguine Bond and Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose, I try to avoid having infinite combos in my decks as I don't really enjoy them and I wanted to keep the power level down. The other problem is that if people know you have an infinite combo in your deck, and see one of the pieces, they are immediately forced to target you to keep you from winning, something this deck can only sustain for so long. Truthfully though, i've never found I needed it. The deck is really consistent, does really well in multiplayer and even wins far more often in 1v1's than it makes sense to (I still have no idea how it beats full on aggro decks as often as it does), and is just fun to play. You deal a lot of damage from discard alone, have multiple other sources of damage, and i've never felt like I desperately needed Sanguine Bond to win. I never put the rest of the combo in as I felt that it would lose that. It would turn from an enjoyable game into one where if I draw 2 cards I just win.

In this case i'm actually running Exquisite Blood to help offset the life-loss from Tinybones, Trinket Thief. Once your engine is fully online you can easily lose 4 life per cycle just to him, which adds up quickly. In addition to that, we run Bolas's Citadel and Black Market Connections which both eat through our life fairly quickly. As such we have quite a bit of life gain in this deck to offset that. That's actually why we even run Gixian Puppeteer, Sheoldred, the Apocalypse (Who I would cut if I could find a comparable alternative who doesn't drain my opponents as that draws too much attention to me), Twilight Prophet, and Faith of the Devoted among other cards.

Thank you so much for the question and suggestions though, and i'm really glad you liked the deck!
