Deck discussion for Skinny Vamps

Swap out the Disfigures for 4 Urge to Feeds and the Vampire's Bites for 4 Blade of the Blodchief(s) and this deck will be amazing.

24-10-4 is another mathematical "super-sequence" much like my favorite sequence for making Stompy decks, 24-4-8-4 is. If you make these changes, you'll be VERY happy with the speed and power of your deck.

I considered Urge to Feed, but I'm not sure about it really... tapping a vampire to give it a +1/+1 sounds good, but it means I'm not attacking that turn. Blade of the Bloodchief is sweet, but it takes a few turns to get it going, and I'm not convinced that its worth it over swinging with more vampires. To me, Disfigure seems a great card for this deck. I've only play-tested it five times so far, but Disfigure often gives me a good head start by killing their first creatures and allowing me to get turn 2 or 3 swings in for direct damage. Vampire's Bite is also, imo, a useful card. 3 extra damage early on can be the difference between getting them below 10 lp on turn 4 or turn 5. I suppose the main difference of opinions we hae is where the game is focused; in all 5 play-tests I have won by turn 7 or 8, so anything that slows down the early game for later-game advantage seems a waste.

Well of course, it all comes down to preference and opinion. But TRUST ME on the Blade. That card is downright unfair when used in a fast vampire deck. Let's say you have it on your...Nighthawk. Your opponent attacks you with 3 2/2's and you block two of them with two of your lacerators and the 3rd with your nighthawk. All three of his 2/2's die and your lacerators die, which is 5 things hitting the 'yard. Your Nighthawk now has become a 12/13 flying, lifelink, deathtouch who gets EVEN stronger every time he kills something or one of your things dies or one of your opponent's things dies.

Honestly, I'd lose the Bites and put in 4 Blades. It really is THAT good. =]

Oh wow, I dunno why but it never really registered to me just how good that card is. I'm definitely throwing that in! Thanks.

I seriously like this deck. I'm not a huge fan of weenie decks like this where you lose so many creatures, but this is scary. I might have to try it out. Most of these cards don't seem to expensive either, which I thoroughly enjoy :)

Thanks a log man! Vampires are my favorite creature type due to their ridiculous versatility. Here I have Aggro weenies, but they also can be used in control, life drain, burn, and more. IIf you enjoy this deck, please check out some of my others. They almost are all cheap as well.

Not for a weenie deck. My personal favorite vampire is Malakir Bloodwitch, but other than that not really. Most I would do is swap the Lacerators for the Gatekeepers but I'm rather cruel that way. I'd rather watch my opponent try to choose what to sacrifice than hit them with a 2/2 each turn. Brings me more joy, personally. Lol.

Ok so I came up with a suggestion. Captivating vampire. 3 swamps so it runs with the skinny theme but gives all your vamps a +1/+1 and if you tap 5 of them you steal an opponent's creature. I found out it works ridiculously well against Eldrazi (oh Emrakul's protected from colored SPELLS? That's ok cuz it's an ability. I just stole your 15/15 flying annihilator 6 [insert rest of abilities here]). And there's a black spell that kills any creature and gains you 4 life but requires two vampires. For the life of me I can't remember the name. Anyway, swap it for dark ritual for Standard.

But thanks anyway; I love this deck because it shows just how thin Legacy decks can be

As I see no Bloodghast, would you not want to remove the fetchlands, or are they there to thin out your deck to get you a higher chance of drawing another vampire?

<_<

This deck has no Bloodghasts in it, and Bloodghast would be amazing in it as well, all bias aside.

Son, I am disappoint.
