cards That is a nice price, but I'm not a fan of it needing a creature to block your creature.

With Viridian Longbow and the like, you can just tap your creature and kill anything at any time, even on opponents turns.

Zarthalius on mono black vampires

Really cool deck! I've always liked lifegain and deathtouch. So, here's what I can offer:

You’ll want to lower your mana curve. You have a lot of 5 drops; without ramp, the deck seems too slow. The game, if uninterrupted, should end within 6 turns.

I'd drop Anowon, the Ruin Sage. Being a 5 drop, an "easily" removable creature, and a "beginning of your upkeep" trigger, he is too slow. You could maybe keep 1 if you only had 2 Bloodlord of Vaasgoth.

I like Bloodlord of Vaasgoth with all the lifelink. He’ll make early drop creatures more relevant later game. I’d only include 2 of him if you’d like to go a more aggro route; maybe include 4 of him if you’d rather delay the early game with removal and play the later game.

With Captivating Vampire, “tap five” feels really expensive without some vampire token generator. However, I guess each time you steal a creature, that creature could be tapped too (kind of) costing you 1 less each time. The “lords” +1/+1 for 3 mana is always good in tribal decks. I’d probably only include 2 Captivating Vampire and then find 2 lifelink vampires for 2 or 3 mana. Maybe Vampire of the Dire Moon for the early game meat shield. She really can slow down the early game.

I'd replace Child of Night with Gifted Aetherborn. With deathtouch, you can move into a “bad touch” (deathtouch + trample) strategies or a “ping” strategies like deathtouch + Viridian Longbow. That bow will also allow you to ping the player enabling Bloodthirsty 3. That blow has a high equip cost but could be versatile for you.

I see what you’re trying to do with Skeletal Grimace. This is mono black, you could also consider the reanimation strategy; a couple Unearths for the lower costing creatures, maybe 1 Zombify for the 5 drops.

You should have 4 Dismembers. With all your lifegain, that removal card is really good. It’ll even remove indestructible creatures. You probably want 2 or more Feed the Swarm in the main deck instead of any Doom Blade. It’s more versatile and you have the life gain to compensate for its drawback. I’d probably go with 4 Feast of Blood if you add more 1 and 2 drop vampires. All this removal may be good enough to delay the early game then setup with big vampires later.

Your going to want card draw. May I suggest replacing Demon's Horn with something like Read the Bones.

Hello Jubeisamurai444!

I'm just waking up so I'm a little slow as of right now. What were you referencing in regard to an untap ability and the one mana per ping? I see you noted Pili-Pala, but what are you saying it works with? The Viridian Longbow and the creature enchantments? I do know this combo. I also find it very hard to keep Pili-Pala on the field to abuse his ability and that is the main reason I don't run him.

Thanks for the post!

wyzeman on Dude where's my cards?

I have discarted Uba Mask at the build. At the moment, my mind was to get the more stable expérience possible in term of cards advantage and ramp Now that both are prety well balanced and the main winning con is settled to a storm strategy I think that this card could be awesome.

The 2 aura's look to be better than Viridian Longbow and I will try them for sure.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Seedborn Muse will let you untap Emmara on everyone else's turn. Equipment like Paradise Mantle and Viridian Longbow can give you good reason to tap Emmara. Honor-Worn Shaku and Springleaf Drum also help tap Emmara.

Deathblossom on A cheap deathtouch

Viridian Longbow, Glissa, the Traitor, and Triangle of War are all fantastic (and relatively cheap) upgrades for a deathtouch-focused Golgari list.

Overrun effects (Overrun, Overwhelming Stampede) are also really good win conditions due to the interaction between Trample and Deathtouch.

I know it's expensive, but see if you can trade for a Thornbite Staff.

Hornet Queen and Tetzimoc, Primal Death are under a dollar each, and both of them seem worth testing.
