With that out of the way, I think that should do it! A tasty and tantalizing +1/+1 Counter Vampire deck! Bon Appetit!īefore I go, there are two more cards I added, but they have a bit of a caveat: On top of that, while we want to be aggressive with cards like Bident of Thassa, Reconnaissance Mission, and Kindred Discovery, there's a very real chance that we may end up falling behind in some games, and that's when raw card advantage from spells like Painful Truths and its ilk will be integral. Having a varied suite of ways to draw cards is great, since it allows the deck to eke out advantage from multiple different angles and prevents us from getting too predictable. These cards join Bident of Thassa, Village Rites, Read the Bones, and a handful of other card advantage spells already in the deck to help round out our card advantage suite. Three cards for three mana and three life is a great rate, and with all the lifelink and incidental lifegain in the deck, it would almost be irresponsible of us not to have some way to spend life, no? The sheer volume of cards that this enchantment accrues is mind-boggling, especially in an aggressive tribal list like this one. This card is pricey, but is a staple in any tribal deck that includes blue. Not only that, but sometimes our creature will be the one lucky enough to live! A sweeper that's easy on the mana and easy on the wallet is difficult to find, but always a great addition when we can!Ĭoming back for a second week in a row is Kindred Discovery. That single creature won't mean much when we get our entire board back post-Wrath. Any board wipe is awesome for us, even if it has the potential downside of leaving a single creature alive on one of our opponent's boards. Last One Standing is a mere three mana, a mere $3, and is great for this list. There are plenty of great board wipes in black, but they're split between being $20+ (like Damnation ) or what feels like 20+ mana (such as In Garruk's Wake ). The second removal spell I added in was Last One Standing. Urge to Feed is a super neat instant that can pivot between a removal spell that picks off annoying creatures like Oracle of Mul Daya or Storm Kiln Artist, and a protection spell that can give all of our Vampires a +1/+1 counter to save them from removal as long as Marchesa is out! I love flexibility, especially when spells have two great "modes" like this one.
STENSIA MASKERADE FULL
Marchesa is at her best when she's able to Reanimate a board full of creatures, and the best way to do that is to make sure our creatures are easy to cast! On top of this, Marchesa herself is a way to put counters on our creatures, and she's right there in the command zone every game, so big creatures like Necropolis Regent, or redundant enchantments like Stensia Masquerade, are unnecessary and cumbersome. The deck's creature curve was a bit top-heavy, so I cut a handful of the "win more" Vamps and went a bit more low to the ground. Now that we know where we're pulling our cards from, let's see which ones will make the cut! Quenchless Thirst, Ceaseless Hunger Sure, there are a smattering of white cards across it, but we can ignore those as we look for cards in Marchesa 's color identity. While the +1/+1 Counter Vampire Page, is a bit wordy to say, it's perfect for what we need. This is a neat little page that can pop up from time to time depending on how strongly intertwined certain tribes and strategies are, like we see above! Huh! While we don't have a page in the +1/+1 Counter Theme, we do have something better, a +1/+1 Counter Vampire Page! Alas, while Vampires may use this theme a lot, there weren't any specific pages for those colors. Why Work on an Empty Stomach?Īs this is a deck deeply intertwined with +1/+1 counters, my first thought was to use the +1/+1 Counter Theme Page and see if there were any Rakdos or Grixis pages that I could utilize to find good upgrades. So without wasting any more time, let's sate our famished palette, and dig in, shall we? Please, guests first. There's also a lack of interaction, and the list can use a bit more card draw as well, especially since we plan on dumping our creatures onto the board with impunity. As usual, the lands are too low 33 lands is just too few.
That said, while there is a lot of inherent synergy here, there are still some issues with the deck. This works perfectly with Marchesa 's ability to recur creatures if they have +1/+1 counters on them, which she can also facilitate thanks to her Dethrone trigger!
