60 Total Cards

16 Creatures
-------------
2x Bloodghast
2x Child of Night
4x Malakir Bloodwitch
2x Mirri the Cursed
2x Sengir Vampire
4x Vampire Nighthawk

22 Spells
----------
4x Bad Moon
4x Dark Ritual
4x Doom Blade
4x Douse in Gloom
1x Mox Jet
3x Phyrexian Arena
2x Quietus Spike

22 Land
--------
1x Cabal Coffers
20x Swamp
1x Volrath's Stronghold

A monoblack deck full of vampires. The theme is simple, start playing your Bad Moon first, then slowly unleash your vampire horde out, and with Phyrexian Arena, you'll be putting out vampires each turn with your Dark Ritual cards and Cabal Coffers.

The trump card here is Malakir Bloodwitch, which would devastate and cripple your opponent's life total while regenerating yours. Bloodghast also becomes deadly with it coming back to the battlefield, every time landfall triggers. It also becomes lethal when equipped with Quietus Spike, as it tears down your opponent's blockers.

There is also the occasional Douse in Gloom for preventing the life lost due to Phyrexian Arena, and Doom Blade for the quick creature removal.

This is just the beginning for a more powerful vampire deck in Forge, as we wait for new vampire cards later on.

Nice deck. This looks solid, will be fun to test.
I was also going to do a vampire deck, but something else came up. (but that's notmyvault. :wink: )

Why play Douse in Gloom when you can play tendrils of corruption?

I have played the deck and it is pretty good.
Tendrils of Corruption instead of Douse in Gloom? I will test that.
Hopefully the 1 extra mana to cast it won't be too big a drawback.(so far, I have had no mana issues with this deck.)

Maybe replacing some Douse in Gloom or Doom Blade would be good. Douse in Gloom is a good creature removal with Dark Ritual early on until you can draw the swamps you need.

It would be also a great idea to add even more Bloodghast here. That card is very very mean with all the Bad Moon enchantments out, and landfall which returns it to the battlefield over and over
