Hello all! I entered my first tournament yesterday (for M13), and I placed in 8th! I'm pretty new to the game (started 5 months ago, with a borrowed deck), I bought my own deck a month ago, and have been adding to it since. I was a Yugioh player, but I think the game has gotten stupid. I can say that I enjoy playing Magic much more! Anyways, I was pretty happy with myself considering it was only tourny #1.
I ran these cards:
24
Swamp
4
Vampire Nighthawk
3/4
Gatekeeper of Malakir
Started off with three, but switched out to add a fourth
3/4
Bloodghast
Started out with 4, but switched to 3.
3
Malakir Bloodwitch
(This thing absolutely destroyed a mono white deck)
3
Viscera Seer
2/3
Pulse Tracker
(started with three, ended up liking two better)
2
Kalastria Highborn
(didn't get much usage out of them; only pulled like 3 times)
2
Vampire Nocturnus
(2013) (would have used more, but were very pricey)
2
Go For the Throat
2
Blade of the Bloodchief
(such an amazing card when you can sac out Bloodghast each turn)
2
Diabolic Revelation
(2013) (Decided to try this card out, ended up getting three. Saved my ass so many times)
1
Disentomb
(2013) (Was only like 50 cents, so I tried it out, ended up keeping it in the deck)
1
Vampire Hexmage
(was really a placeholder, but helped me kill that stupidly OPed new Liliana).
1
Duress
1
Demon's Horn
(bought to try out, and I loved it. I got lucky, I pulled it in 4 matches)
1
Mark of the Vampire
(2013)
1
Dismember
(that I NEVER drew!)
1
Sorin Markov
Since yesterday, I have decided to remove:
-1
Vampire Hexmage
(side board)
-1
Disentomb
(I liked it, but one seems useless[/c] (sideboard or removed)
-1
Duress
(sideboard)
-1
Demon's Horn
(Although it was fun to use, it's not really a card to run in my deck, would use in casual though.)
-1
Dismember
(removed)
And would like to add:
+2
Vampire Nocturnus
(haven't decided between three or four yet)
+2
Sign in Blood
(a lot of my draws were bad, so I need to add this)
+1
Bloodghast
(obviously a great card)
Thanks for reading, and I would love opinions and suggestions!
