Deck Description

Teehee! I felt slightly clever thinking of that name :D.

Anyway, this deck is essentially the 2012 Vampire Event Deck, just more specific on its stategy.

If you haven't seen it before, here's the general idea:

1. Have Bloodthrone Vampire on the field. You only need one.
2. Equip it with Blade of the Bloodchief, the more, the merrier.
3. Have at least 1 Bloodghast in play or in the graveyard.
4. (OPTIONAL) Have Pawn of Ulamog and/or Kalastria Highborn on the field.

Once those things have been assembled, begin the sacrificing. Here's how a standard turn would work:

1. Draw.
2a. Play a land if all of your available Bloodghasts are in your graveyard. If they aren't (Hand or battlefield), Go to 2b. Otherwise, go to step 3.
2b. Sacrifice all Bloodghasts that are on the field or just came into play with Bloodthrone Vampire. She should get 2 * X * Y counters (X = amount of Blades equipped, Y = amount of Bloodghast's sacrificed). Go back to step 2a.
3. Sacrifice the newly resurrected Bloodghast's.
4a. If Pawn of Ulamog is in play, Sacrifice the Eldrazi Tokens. If Kalastria Highborn is in play, pay the mana for each Bloodghast that you've sacrificed to gain 2 life and make target opponent lose 2 life (if possible). If it can't be blocked, then go to step 4b.
4b. Sacrifice the Highborn and the Pawn (In that order) as well as the two tokens you'd receive from this endeavor.
5. Attack with the Bloodthrone Vampire.

If you had 1 Bloodthrone Vampire, 1 Pawn of Ulamog, 1 Kalastria Highborn, 2 Bloodghasts (in play) and 2 Blade's of the Bloodchief equipped to Bloodthrone and did as I just said (following step 4b), you'd be able to change a 1/1 to a 73/73 attacking, while remaining a 49/49 after that. So far, this hasn't happened, but from experience, I've been able to get a 25/25.

It's kind of funny that a small little Vampire can become stronger than Emrakul (Which, in fact, is when I got Bloodthrone to 25/25), but whatever: I'm not complaining!

Thanks for reading! Enjoy the deck!

Deck discussion for Quest for the Bloodthrone

Well, well, if it isn't the compliment-giver from my Self-Mill deck. :D I like this deck a lot, I never even thought of how big of a combo Blade+Bloodthrone+Bloodghast really is. Very nice idea and great execution!
