The deck played very well for me at the tournament. First round was versus a Red aggro deck. I won the first match , lost the second and won the third. Second round was against a White deck, Lost the first round then won the second and third. 3rd and final round was against a mono black deck. I lost the first hand then won the second and third. I ended up taking first place with my Orzhov build thanks for all the comments and suggestions.

I hear what you are saying and I end up playing mostly non-standard casual play. I enjoy building the decks and once I get one that works well I like to keep it. Of course using sites like this I can now more easily keep the build and still break down the deck if I want to use it again I simply come here look at the build and put it back together.

I am still trying to build up my card base as well after just getting back into playing. Thanks for the advice though.

Thanks for your comments! I will check out the link. No mutavaults in deck due to cost and lack of spare mutavaults. Anyone wants to donate a few let me know LOL.

It looks like your main goal based on cards is to drain your opponents life by abilities, not by doing damage per say. Blood baron is designed to work best if you are gaining life quickly. Most of your cards reduce your opponents life but do not increase yours. There are a decent number of cards in your hand that do boost your life total but they will take some time to get going, and kick you up to 30 life. I would focus on either life gain or your opponents life reduction instead of both.

I see you have 3 Asphyxiate in your inventory its a good guard to use to cut down your opponents creatures. Liturgy of blood and Sip of Hemlock cost quite a bit of mana to cast. Asphyxiate only costs 3. I would replace them with Asphyxiate and Bile Blight.

Bile blight is also a very nice card if your opponent has multiples of the same creature out and is not expensive to cast.

You have 2 Doom Blades as well which can be handy in a pinch as well against other color decks or multicolor decks. I would at least sideboard them.
(Sideboard is a set of 15 cards you can swap out between games.) Devour flesh gives your opponent life, Doom Blade does not.

Duress is a great way to restrict your opponents casting as well. Possibly consider switching this in also.

Maybe swap out a Blood Bairn and Eater of Hope for a pair of Deathgaze cockatrice Deathtouch fliers are nice for blocking or attacking.

Just a few suggestions I am no expert by any means but I think some of the cards I mentioned could be useful. Also I am always told to focus on the theme and try to build on that, if you want to gain life focus on creatures and spells that gain you life, however gaining life generally does not win you games, if they have a destroy target creature card that Blood baron can disappear very quickly. You need to be able to dish out the damage as well. I would focus on getting creatures out quickly and putting a hurt on your opponent, instead of focusing the entire build on a single card. You have plenty of sorcery and enchantments as well to help reduce your opponents life.

I put the High priest in as it is a human and it has destroy when damaged. So I get a zombie and he kills something of theirs. I did not use Brimaz as he is a cat and creates cat tokens which do not get replaced with Zombies. I can easily replace the high priest if need be, I just thought his ability was a boon.

Thanks i will dig a bit deeper.
