Cool build! Might I recommend Nighthawk Scavenger over Vampire Nighthawk?

I built a Strefan deck too (Vampiric Bloodsport) and it’s fun to see the other directions/tweaks people take with him as the commander.

Cool build! I see Vampire Nighthawk much more frequently than Nighthawk Scavenger in EDH builds - is there a reason for this? Nighthawk Scavenger seems like a much better card to me, but I’m also pretty new to MTG.

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

If you're building to counter a Dragon deck, and you want to keep a deathtouch focus, I recommend adding either more removal like Doom Blade or deathtouch-y fliers like Vampire Nighthawk or Battlefly Swarm. As it stands now, you don't have a lot of interaction--Duress and Victim of Night are good starts, but you don't have many ways to deal with an attacking 4/4 or bigger flying creature, and Power Word Kill does nothing to Dragons.

As another addition, Hooded Blightfang turns your deathtouch creatures into life drain. Since you're not beholden to a format right now, Dark Ritual gives you a shot of mana to get to your more important cards faster.

Hey there you two, thanks for responding! I have changed it to be default now, but that is a good trick to know!

As for your suggestions, Blue, yeah Sheoldred, the Apocalypse is fantastic, I see why it's an expensive card. As for Desecration Demon, I may need you to sell me on it a bit. I just filled in my 4 mana drops on my curve with Gonti, Lord of Luxury and Rankle, Master of Pranks as card draw, but I'm open to suggestions for that slot. However, it seems like Spawn of Mayhem would be a better flying beatdown creature for the same mana or less (with Spectacle), right?

Also, I have 4x of both Vampire Nighthawk AND Nighthawk Scavenger, that's the core of the deck, those two as well as Vampire of the Dire Moon and Gifted Aetherborn.

I really like the sound of mono black devotion, what would that look like? What cards go into it? I assume Gray Merchant of Asphodel is a 4x of as a finisher, but what else?

Man it’s really hard to tell what’s going on based off the way you have your deck organized, may I suggest just using the default sorting method?

As for finishers if budget wasn’t a concern then Sheoldred, the Apocalypse is where it’s at right now

Since it is though how about Desecration Demon?

You could probably swap Vampire Nighthawk for Nighthawk Scavenger

Honestly I’d just build mono black devotion

Otherwise, I would recommend removing things like Elixir of Immortality in place for more of your core gameplay loop, maybe 2 more Sanguine Bond or Vampire Nighthawk. There is a lot of potential here!

Bloodghast seems excelent, sadly i dont have it. i remeber in the past running Skinrender and Gatekeeper of Malakir as creatures in control decks. i will keep thinking how to improve it , using what i have. maybe Vampire Nighthawk and Lashwrithe dont belong to the deck
