 {Vampire Nighthawk} > {Deathgaze Cockatrice}

{Beckon Apparition} > {Vile Rebirth}

Nighthawk costs 1 less and gives lifelink and +0/+1, beckon apparition gives a flier.

Look into splashing white. Unless you're play more red, I don't think you need to play it at all.

{orzhov charm}
{immortal servitude}
{gift of immortality}
{blind obedience}
{orzhova, ghost council}
{merciless eviction}

And a ton of other cards that let you exploit your festering newts.

Nighthawk also rotated

Did not know about the nighthawk, probably because I pulled one in my m14 toolkit, just assumed it was reprinted, my mistake.

I'd def add in 2 more Bogbrew, take out 1 cauldron bc u can delve for them... And add in angelic accord! I run this deck at FNM some nights... Tons of fun... Once that combo is up and running and I'm dropping angels they get so angry! Also  {High Priest of Penance} is a great blocker early to help set the combo up...
