Deck discussion for Life Drain Menace

I want to work in Lilliana of the Dark Realms, but not sure what to get rid of. I'm thinking of getting rid of the Nighthawks, but they're great because they sometimes prevent opponents from attacking because of the deathtouch.

You should think about taking out the white in the deck. Replace those cards with possibly "Vampire Bite", "Child of Night", and/or "Bloodchief Assention". This will also let you fit liliana into the deck.

I don think you need 4 "Sanguine Bond". 26 lands also seems like quite a lot. Specially if you put in liliana. Look into running max 23 lands and with liliana, maybe max 21 lands. If you run mono black, you can also get rid of your multi-color lands and possible run some land fetch cards.

Hope this helps! Good Luck!!!

Thanks for the comment. I like your idea of going all black. What do you think of adding "Divinity of Pride" to it?

And I originally had a Liliana in there, but I didn't know how many to put in... what would be your recommendation?

Thanks for the comment!

vampire Bite is an Instant. i would probably put in 2. Max three if you really really wanted to get them onto the battle field but I think that might be a little over kill.
