Having just seen the new version of Nosferatu (as well as the original 1922 film and the 1979 remake), I must give this deck an upvote!

Would you consider Verrak, Warped Sengir in place of Vampire of the Dire Moon, given that he clearly was modeled after count Orlok, or would that be simply too much of an increase in this deck's mana curve?

BioProfDude Thank you for the sugestions. I added Vampire of the Dire Moon. The reason i chose Tamiyo's Safekeeping over Snakeskin Veil was due to potential board wipes.

Foulmire Knight or Vampire of the Dire Moon are both way better than Tajuru Blightblade, and I think Snakeskin Veil is generally better than Tamiyo's Safekeeping.

I would suggest Vivien, Champion of the Wilds as a possible addition as giving your creatures flash could be interesting when playing against many of the current top decks, and the +1 to give creatures vigilance and reach is also quite relevant.

A creature land or two might be good in case you run into control or other matchups with a lot of removal. Hive of the Eye Tyrant, Hissing Quagmire, Lair of the Hydra, or maybe a Mutavault are all good candidates.

Cool deck! I upvoted a while ago, but it's still a +1 from me!

Sudden Spoiling and Hero's Downfall are not playable modern cards, the removal has to be more efficient than that. Staple BR removal options would be 3-4 Lightning Bolt 2-4 Fatal Push 1-2 Molten Collapse 0-1 Angrath's Rampage. I'd also cut the Blightning.

Vampire of the Dire Moon kinda boring generic 1 drop. I assume Tinybones, the Pickpocket is way out of your budget, the cards not super great in here anyways.

Hooded Blightfang is honestly not the best card but I mean if you're playing deathtouch tribal then you should probably play it. Also interesting you chose BR because most deathtouch decks I see are BG and use Fynn, the Fangbearer. Green also gives you some better 1 drop deathtouchers like Gnarlwood Dryad and Narnam Renegade, and also a 2 drop Chevill, Bane of Monsters. Also 3 drop Glissa Sunslayer.

Zoyowa Lava-Tongue 2 drop deathtoucher. Nighthawk Scavenger 3 drop.

YamishiTheWickedOne further testing of the historic build I replaced the 1 drops that filled in for seer with Vampire of the Dire Moon and it’s worked incredibly well with Vito and another addition Vein Ripper. Once I can get 2, they’ll be replacing vraan. Vraan has been a decent card, but ripper is naughty. 3 games dropped on turn 3 via sorin, 2 snap conceded. I know we loose the scry ability with seer, but built in removal and lifelink for 1 seems like a stronger play.

How much are you keeping this deck up to date? I had a very similar inspiration, and the last few sets have added some interesting new toys. If you want to compare notes, mine's at Above such mortal concerns. (I did allow myself the luxury of Cavern of Souls, Voldaren Estate, and Blood Celebrant, so it's able to cast Edgar in a pinch, but the spirit's still there.)

How well do cards like Vampire of the Dire Moon and Changeling Outcast work for this deck?

DarkKiridon thank you for the suggestions. I really wish Stromkirk Captain was Pioneer legal as he is an old favorite of mine. I definitely plan to add Fatal Push to my deck in place of Fake Your Own Death. I am going to keep looking at what vampire to swap my Sanguinary Mage for as it just recently replaced Furyblade Vampire. I am considering Child of Night (old fav) or Vampire of the Dire Moon or Vampire Cutthroat or Indulgent Aristocrat. Sanguinary mage isn't the right fit though. I am also considering Falkenrath Perforator as it is a more guaranteed way to ensure my opponent takes damage so I can trigger Vampire Socialite when I play vampires in my 2nd main phase. The lifelink will help ensure my opponent a quick life drain from Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose.
