Yo! Glad to see you back on here! Sample hands are looking very good. Great starts as white weenies(ish) should have. I almost mentioned more removal may be necessary, but bonds of faith gives you some versatility. I like it and can't wait to see it played!

I'm on the same page as Bone. 2 Ajani. If you want to make this deck incredibly irritating and very effective as life gain, put in x4 Soul's Attendant x4 Soul Warden If you'd like the win at 40 pts, Felidar Sovereign I am always very cautious of running more fewer than 2 of any card.
This looks like a fun deck. Gideon would be alot of fun with all of your walls too. I like it!
Yeah it is definitely a well built deck man.. you have 3 mind funerals now. I think you have the goods to trade up to a jace tms now.
Not feeling this. What is the theme? You have infect spread around in wierd places. Super awkward Stoic Rebuttal. I feel like I'm watching somebody pick their butt in public and they don't know there are 20 people standing behind them.
This. Awesome reconstruct. man.. You have this built minus the Mind Sculptors right?
This is a really cool idea. I haven't seen a troll deck and never noticed the regenerate theme. This could make for a very fun deck. Definitely alot of pumping going on. I like it. Have you thought about putting this together? BTW. Epic grammar in the description.
hey man, you should totally update this to match your current build, because it's rape (:
Wall of Denial is rape.
Great job on lands Ben. I like this concept. Have you started the transition?
Is this a concept, or are you planning on building this? A strong, albeit somewhat expensive, addition is Abyssal Persecutor (+Consuming Vapors)
Great deck Ben.
+ 2 Contagion Clasp + 2 Livewire Lash When you read Livewire Lash, remember that creatures with infect deal damage to players in the form of poison counters.
Do you intend to keep this standard legal? If not, you should look into goblin grenade.
Thanks man. I need to eliminate 10 cards somewhere - get the total down to 60.
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.
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!
