You're relying on {Cavern of Souls} to cast blood artist?

Where to start.......

@Dudecore: Every deck that can play Cavern efficiently should.

Now on to the next point. I really hate {Blood Artist}. It is not that good of a card. But if you want to play it, at least win with the stupid thing. Keep in mind what you are about to read is beyond marginal and should only be played at a casual setting or laid back not tier 1 and 1.5 level of FNM.

Creatures- 20
4 {Blood Artist}
3 {Gravedigger}
3 {Ghoul Raiser}
4 {Bloodflow Connoiseur}
2 {Devouring Swarm}
4 {Spellskite}

Enchantments- 4
4 {Rooftop Swarm}

Spells- 12
4 {Ponder}
4 {Forbidden Alchemy}
3 {Doom Blade}
1 {Go for the Throat}

Lands- 24
4 {Drowned Catacomb}
4 {Darkslick Shores}
10 {Swamp}
6 {Island}

There you go. This deck is pretty budget friendly as you dont need the dual lands. Leaving the only expensive card being spellskite. The premise is very simple. While Rooftop Swarm is in play and you have Blood Painter + a Sac outlet out (Swarms and Bloodflows) you infinitely cycle ghoul raisers and and gravediggers for infinite life loss and life gain. The deck is really marginal, but if you want a blood artist deck, I would start here. If you are willing to put money into it Caverns, Snaps, Tamiyo and some fog effects with a few green duals would be another route. Still even that deck would be marginal.
