Topic: Budget mono black deck

I found this on the internet then I modified it to lower the price (to under $20), I am looking for some constructive criticism on the downfalls of this deck.

Thank you in advance for your advice smile

One card I am particularly suspicious of in this deck is sign in blood, I believe I should remove it though I am not sure, please advise me on this. neutral

I use a lot of exalted in this deck intentionally. cool

Re: Budget mono black deck

Considering that you have lifelink via Vampire Nighthawk, it's almost always a plus to add card draw.  It increases consistency and can help get you out of a bind (nevermind the fact that you could always target the opponent if you're hard up to hit them for two).  For that reason, you should definitely keep Sign in Blood.

If anything would need to slide out, I would suggest Dark Favor.  It's a cheap pump and a good option to add some damage; however, it does open the door for you to get two-for-one'd.

Oh, some good suggestions, I will keep these in consideration when I find the time to improve this deck with this excellent communities help smile
