InformationBelieve it or not, but this deck actually evolved from a
Vampire deck. I really wanted to find a way to make
Blood Tribute work, and eventually settled on making the deck stall until it can use it as it's main win condition. For those of you who don't know;
Blood Tribute +
Sanguine Bond + any Vampire equals instant win. This deck actually wins this way almost every time, and doesn't lose that often either.
You have removal, stall walls and a ton of card draw to sift through your deck for your combo parts and then boom; take 'em out in one hit. You also have
Angels and
Demons there, just in case (or to intimidate your opponent), but I rarely have to swing with them. The
Demons can also help you fetch combo parts for a win the next turn, usually.
I have been going back and forth between
Ulcerate and
Tribute to Hunger, so you could use either if you wanted.
Ulcerate is better against aggro, and
Tribute is better against control.
I briefly also trialled
Vizkopa Guildmage as extra
Sanguine Bonds, and while 9 mana to perform the combo is easy enough to reach with this deck, the
Guildmages didn't otherwise gel, especially as they were taking the place of either removal or stall.
EditsEdit 1: Stabilized the card draw a bit and changed some removal around.

Graveborn MuseEdit 2: Changed deck list to planner view.
Have you considered Pharika's Chosen? it is a beast at stalling early. Could really be helpful if you can work it in.
With the lack of early removal, I feel like maybe it could find a home over tribute potentially? How often does tribute net you any worth while kills/life gain?
