The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...
Start typing a card name and use the auto-complete feature to quickly select the card you're trying to add. Enter a quantity and add that card to your sideboard!
Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.
This is my first deck that I built and I think it's off to a good start. The main combo in this deck involves the reassembling skeletons, bloodthrone vampire and blade of bloodchief. I also added many cards that kill creatures outright so that you vampires should be able to attack every turn. If you run into a rather large beasty, without any spells to disable it, there is always nighthawk with deathtouch. Feedback would be wonderful. I'm still learning a lot, so if you guys see any flaws let me know C:

So, this is a good skeleton for vampire tribal. You are definitely on the right foot. The first couple things I noticed are: 1. You only have 37 cards of a 40 card minimum 2. Your Blade of the Bloodchief(s) are not listed. The first change I would make is dropping 2 Quag Sickness and 2 Haunting Echoes for +4 Gatekeeper of Malakir. I would then take out the other Quag and 1 Virulent Swipe for two more Doomblades. The added removal of Doomblades will ensure that the board isolates the creatures that have to be taken care of via sacrificing (Gatekeeper, which is also another vamp on the field). Doomblade simply gives more utility than Quag sickness, which can potentially be removed, etc. Keep up the good work. Keep in mind that the best vampire decks are vampire aggro. With a little mana ramping like Dark Ritual, along with Vampire Nocturnus, a simple deck like this can have most casual players knocked out in 2-3 turns. Check out the vamp tribal I play : http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=111210 Rarely do I not have a Nocturnus on turn 2. Lotus Petal + Land + Dark Rit + Nocturnus = A very scared opponent when you are swinging for a 5/4 flier on turn two that is also giving your other vamps +2/+1. That deck is focused on pure removal and aggro. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the feedback. I need to add the mana to it yet lol. I completely forgot. So it should be 60 with the addition of twenty three swamps. The reason I put the quag sickness in there was because I figured it would get around doom blades loop hole of not being able to target black creatures. Do you think I should put it on a sideboard instead? As far as the haunting echoes, I was thinking about all the burn decks that were a pain in my side the first time I played. I figured I'd make them sweat if all the instants they burned through suddenly vanished from their library. You might be right though, it is kind of clogging the deck a bit. Also, I play in standard constructed on friday night magic. Do you think this deck with be able to hold it's ground?
I missed the part about this being standard! Yeah, Quag Sickness has the non-color specific benefit over Doom Blade. If your goal is to avoid the non-black disadvantage of Doom Blade, I would go with x4 Feast of Blood. People bitch about the vampire req, but in standard format, in a deck as fast as a vampire aggro, you will always have the vampire requirement. Feast of Blood is my sideboard removal - replacing Hideous End, and Consuming Vapors replacing Doom Blade. Heavily consider Gatekeeper of Malakir.
