Not a big fan of Regent, a 6 drop Vamp that doesn't outclass the 4 drops doesn't seem worth it. Also {Stensia Bloodhall} as a 1 of?

It's just that I pulled a foil one in a pack so I grew love for it.  Also I meant to include Stensia Bloodhall as a 1 of that's why I am asking for it in a trade from u :)

Maybe, but in that case, what is replaced?

Maybe -1 wave +1 regent and see how it works

1 regent is good. 2 regents equal far too many. I do just fine without the {bloodline keeper}s in my deck I still take first in fnm.

{Bloodline Keeper} is a beast though, he completely turns around games, or helps stabilization if you untap with him.

Have 1 {Necropolis Regent} already and will have two shortly so I don't really want them to go to waste.  What do you guys think about -1 {Sign in Blood} and maybe -1 of a creature, idk which.  Or maybe -2 {Murder}, or would that be not enough removal

You need to pick a win con and stick with it

Do you want control/removal? Aggro? Counter gain? Mid range?

Your deck is kinda everywhere in terms of consistency

I wouldn't sideboard the aristocrat. Maindeck for sure. A flying 4 power haster that's indestructible when it needs to be is too good to sideline.

Mostly Aggro.  What are your suggestions?

Sideboard your second Olivia, she is a control pinger over anything, then take out killing wave cause honestly its only a sub-par field wipe and rarely gets the job done

So -1 Olivia (put to sideboard)
-3 killing wave

+4 aristocrat

Card is so good for Aggro, especially when blood artist is on the field and you sac for her

To be honest, regent doesn't fit anywhere ATM, she is just too mana heavy to fit with how fast pace the current meta is, just my opinion

The sign in bloods are good, maybe just run 3 though, and try to get at least 2 cavern of souls so you can get past counter/control decks

And I like ultimate price over murder, less cmc and I see so many mono colored over multicolored in all decks so its still a great card, maybe sideboard tribute to hunger for hexproof, get rid of smelt and tormods crypt and get 3 rakdos charm (sideboard) and get slaughter games for sideboard, that card has won me a lot.

If you have to choose what land to get between {cavern of souls} and {blood crypt}, get the 2 caverns. Even if you see less blue decks out there using counter spells. You want your creatures to make a safe journey onto the battlefield.
{ultimate price} is going to be seen a lot if the guilds do fall apart in ravnica, and the action set will be mostly mono color cards. Even still, it is an answer to many threats out there.
