v.4.1
This is a completely-revamped (pun not intended) deck, built out of the Bold Suicide deck, which, in turn, was based on the Cautious Suicide Deck, which is a distant relative of the Unraveling Mind pre-built deck. The theme of this deck is, obviously, vampires and the mechanics are based on a combination of Madness, assassination, Sliver synergy, and discarding.
This deck incorporates suggestions by wierdsteve, Dre and Slayer Red.
v.4.2 Changes:
- Ascendant Evincar cost too much to cast, so I have removed 2 of them so I could put in two Hivestones (to give Sliver abilities to other creatures).
- I have replaced the 4 Cabal Coffers cards with 4 Vivid Marsh cards, in order to get the nonblack combos.
- I have replaced the 4 Darksteel Citadel cards with 4 Cranial Extraction cards, in order to eliminate powerful opponent cards, or at least to set off his countering/control strategy.
- Since this is no longer a pure Madness deck, I have replaced the 2 Mindlash Slivers with 2 Winged Slivers (Vivid Marsh generates the 1 blue mana).
- Using the aforementioned rational, I have replaced 2 Clot Slivers with 2 Hunter Slivers (Vivid Marsh generates the 1 red mana).
- Wicked Akuba ceased to have any synergy with the rest of the deck, so I have replaced the 2 cards with 2 Essence Slivers (Vivid Marsh generates the 1 white mana).
- The Toxin Sliver is a good card, but I need more tricks against a strong countering deck. Hence, I took both cards out and replaced them with 2 Ostiary Thrull cards (tapping ability for one mana; I considered using the much cheaper and versatile Midnight Charm, but I'd rather have a creature with an ability than a one-shot instant).
- Mephidross Vampire and Stalking Bloodsucker, although extremely effective, take 6 mana to cast. Thus, I went against my own "one-off" policy and removed one of each, in order to have 2 more Ostiary Thrull cards, which will give me cheaper creatures with the tapping ability I need so much.
v.4.3 Changes:
- I have taken out the Stalking Bloodsucker card and replaced it with another Mephidross Vampire card, to better adhere to my "one-off" rule and stack my drawing consistency.
The mana curve of the deck is quite good right now, although I would prefer if I had more three-mana cards than two-mana cards, and a few more one-mana cards. The current breakdown is as follows:
1 mana = 2
2 mana = 10
3 mana = 2
4 mana = 16
5 mana = 4
6 mana = 2
7 mana = 0
