Vampire Nocturnus is strong finisher on his own - with you normally being able to win very quickly after he comes down (topcard dependant), another reason I don’t think you need Mirri.

If you can run Fatal Push go for it - a playset would be perfect. I only didn’t suggest them in my first post as i’d suspected they might be above this decks budget. But they are defo worth playing if you can field them.

I’d suggest not wasting killspells targeting your own stuff though. If you’re really wanting to kill your own dude, you’re better off including a sac outlet like Viscera Seer.

As far as Sanctum Seeker and Sanguine Bond, they don’t look great. Modern is a super fast format, so decks without ramp are unlikely to run more than 4 cards in the cmc4 slot, and nothing higher than this. These cards just look clunky and not a good use of that premium “top-cmc-slot”, especially when Vampire Nocturnus is decent and already taking up that cmc4 position.

Yes, very sexy I do say.

The sexiest

When Infernal Grasp comes out (Innistrad Midnight Hunt) I would replace doom blade with it. It's probably the best black removal to ever be released and you don't care about the life loss.

Duly noted! Looking forward to see what other support I could get from releases this year!

Most of these cards have a cmc of 2, how important is it to have a rounded out mana curve at 3 cmc?

More than just mana curves with these sexy vampires.
