Vampire Nighthawk was one of my favourite cards years ago, probably just behind Bloodghast. Crazy he's now being outclassed by Qarsi and Scavenger!

Anyway, no suggestions, just dig the deck. Haven't played in a longtime, but this reminded me of when I started with Zendikar BR vamps, good times. +1

Exit777 on Please, let me touch YOU - Phage

Touching people is fun! :)

Als Vorschläge hätte ich vor allem das Deck ein bisschen "schlanker" zu machen. Avatar of Woe und Choice of Damnations aber im Regelfall echt weit weg. Peer into the Abyss kann zwar entweder jemand rausnehmen oder dir viele Karten ziehen aber hat das gleiche Problem wie Phage dass man erstmal dahin kommen muss. SElbes gilt für Profane Transfusion.

Und dann fehlt vielleicht natürlich Stunning Reversal, Nachteil ist dass es dich auf 1 setzt statt wie Lich's Mirror auf 20. Ich würde vielleicht die beiden trotzdem tauschen, weil Stunning Reversal als instant auch noch gut mit Lich's Mastery harmoniert, kauft dir also auf gewisse Art 2 nicht-sterben-Effekte für 1. Das Problem der geringen Lebenspunkte könntest du vielleicht eher mit Deathtouchern angehen, die auch Lifelink haben - Vampire Nighthawk, Qarsi Revenant, NIghthawk Scavenger. Die eignen sich dann auch gut um als backup wincon z.B. ein Vorpal Sword zu tragen, falls Phage aus irgendeinem Grund nicht mehr zum Zug kommt.

Decree of Pain und In Garruk's Wake würd ich auch durch was billigeres ersetzen, bspw. Extinction Event, einfach um besser ins late game zu kommen.

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.

Have you considered the following:

Qarsi Revenant: Just a bit better than Vampire Nighthawk.

Deep-Cavern Bat/Invasion of Gobakhan  ^Flip: For cheap hand disruption. In the case of the latter, a bit of insurance against removal.

Hope this helps.

DreadKhan on Why is Thunder Spirit on …

I have a question for people saying that Thunder Spirit would have seen play, isn't this noticeably worse than Vampire Nighthawk? Isn't that card the butt of jokes now at 3 mana? Honestly curious, because only 2 abilities on a 2/2 vs 3 abilities on a 2/3 seems like an easy call, and I didn't think anyone cared about Nighthawk anymore.

Feed the Swarm, Withering Torment against enchantments, Virtue of Persistence, Vampire Nighthawk or Phyrexian Fleshgorger can help against Aggro, Cut Down Anoint with Affliction Nowhere to Run, Torch the Tower or Scorching Dragonfire might be options too,…
