Intangible Virtue would be good, i know you plan to make your tokens die but they can defend and attack for you if the occasion arises!

It's a good suggestion and something I've been considering, I'm just not sure what I would take out for it. Any ideas?

i've already seen a lot of token decks, and what i can conclude is that there are 2 cards you will really not want to use Parallel Lives and Growing Ranks, they're simply bad choices, and use the slot of a Garruk/Sorin ,another problem here is your weakness without the artist to cards like Detention Sphere and -sever the bloodline, and the easiest solutions are ultimate price and victim of night, both them useful to avoid those threats and beautyful removal if you need them.

The difference between these tokens and others however is to try and have a sac outlet available so if something like sever or detention sphere comes up I can respond by sac'ing and getting value with Blood Artist. Parallel Lives doubles that punishment. I didn't include growing ranks because it was too slow. Sorin, however could be really good here.

actually i said you are weak to those cards without the Artist xD. and again i think you must add some removal Victim of Night/Ultimate Price/Abrupt decay. im any distribution you feel right.

Oh I see. What are your thought on Barter in Blood ?

card:Altar's Reap

That is definitely a good idea for some draw power. I will do some looking and see what I can do to make some space.

Bone Splinters ?

consider Rancor with the bloodthrone then it will take much less tokens needed to win, also you sould maindeck 1or 2 sorin and 2 or 3 garruk. Sorin for more tokens, but garruk in this deck, he gives you tokens, gives you a sac outlet, and a tutor for the artist. definately maindeck.

I agree with JakeRafferty Bone Splinters should at least be a sideboard card.

Dont give up on this deck i feel it could go really far

Alright, so based on the suggestions, I'm thinking of cutting Midnight Haunting and Parallel Lives to make room for 1x Sorin, Lord of Innistrad , 2x Garruk Relentless  ^Flip , and 4x Bone Splinters . I am also thinking about cutting Increasing Devotion and Thragtusk to 2-ofs to make room for 3x Rancor further reducing my curve. I am also thinking about moving Killing Wave to the sideboard in lieu of a less situational removal and saving Killing Wave for matches that produce more creature heavy board states to increase the effectiveness of Killing Wave . Thoughts?

If you cut the Parallel Lives , you are pretty much just keeping the green in for thrags and Garruks. The thing is, with Sorin, Lord of Innistrad in your deck, as well as Blood Artist and Bloodthrone Vampire , you might consider dropping green and switching the Thrags to Bloodline Keeper  ^Flip . While less powerful in a vacuum than Thragtusk , with all the other vamps, plus Sorin, you could much more realistically hit that magic pump and then stuff can get pretty crazy.

The synergy of Bloodline Keeper  ^Flip with Sorin, Lord of Innistrad is just nutty. I can't wait for gatecrash and the boros lands to shore up the last of my B/W/R Vampire deck.

@Wannabehero; Bloodline Keeper  ^Flip is a great card with helping out vampires, but if he's just making tokens to sac to his Bloodthrone Vampire its not really worth it. Why pump up your token vampires if you're just gonna sac them. Sure it also helps out Blood Artist and Bloodthrone Vampire but if someone really wanted to they could easily get rid of them. Also as soon as Sorin, Lord of Innistrad hits the field he's gonna become a giant target. So other than being a beefed up blocker, there's better cards that could go in instead.

i would drop 1 Increasing Devotion , 1 Killing Wave , 1 Midnight Haunting for 3 Intangible Virtue and put 1 Thragtusk and 1 Lingering Souls in the sideboard for two Sorin, Lord of Innistrad

I would throw in some populate like, Eyes in the Skies

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I will be doing some playtesting soon and let you know what changes I have made with your recent suggestions in mind!

[Golgari Guildmage] for adding more tokens and sac ability. +1 from me. c",

Thanks! I'm trying to keep it standard for now, but once this rotates into modern Golgari Guildmage would probably be a great fit!

doomed traveler

have you thought about adding Falkenrath Noble ?

@popboom53 I'm kinda running 4 of him already?

@m12fox I actually haven't thought about using him, but I'm not sure I need him over another sac outlet. Any thoughts on that?

i personally think that he would be good for this deck (especially with your Killing Wave ) but instead of many, just 2?
