Playtesting —May 4, 2016
After a few weeks of playing with the deck & getting a better understanding, I've made A LOT of changes. The deck is a lot different than before. I took out Elusive Tormentor because it's just too slow for what I was doing. Added Asylum Visitor as it's a great card for early & for card gain when the deck is usually close to hellbent.
I ended up putting Kalitas on the sideboard, went up to 3 Olivias, & settled on 2 Dranas. I tested Liliana in this deck, but it's too slow. I went from 4 Youths to 2 as I never had the opportunity to go more than 2 on him. I also added 4 Insolent Neonate's as they are great madness enablers & even allow for some early small damage or surprise damage with Unnatural Endurance.
Avacyn's Judgement is a great card by itself so I ended up adding 3 to the deck. It having a madness cost is just icing on the cake.
Agreed and you will get more out of youth then duelist

pogo7147 DEDmaster Thank you two so much for commenting on my deck! I decided to take your advice & take out the two Bloodmads for two more Youths. DEDmaster, what do you think I should replace the two Duelists with?

A great way to make this deck better is to take a look at all the cards you are currently running. 24 lands seems like a bit too much for an agro deck with nothing more expensive than 4 in your deck. I agree with DEDmaster that the duelists should come out of the deck. In place of that you should bump up how many Kalitas/Drana/Olivia that you run. These 3 are the main staple to your deck. Also maybe look at Stensia Masquerade for another Drana effect.

More lightning. The combo with fiery is sick. And at early game you are turning two for one. The best thing to do is draw a hand. If you are not dealing damage with a creature by turn two your to slow for vamp. Elusive is great, and underrated. But in vamp its to slow. Kalitas is fun but by turn 4 you want two swings for game. So run one to just have the end bulk. But 2 drana, 4 of everything that is not legendary. You need draw cause in aggro if you are top decking your dead. So run madness for best value. 20 lands. Dont keep a hand without two lands. And push it. If you remove or deal damage your making good moves.

sweet deck! However, consistency is key. I would take out Bloodmad Vampire and put in an extra 2 incorrigile Youths. +1
