Suugestion: try adding mutavaults. 4/3 flying vampire land sound fun?

Spaced that card. In all honesty, I don't want to use it just because this deck is roughly $50 and I don't want to put too much into it.  However, I really do like that idea.

Your current deck list is cheaper than $50. I'd guess it was around $30 (non foiled). Mono black is still super cheap to make.

The blood artist does seem like it fits in the deck. The lilianas don't look like they fit either. The only cool play I see with them is to -3 and charge with life linking vampire nighthawk.

I haven't been able to play test yet, but with the 10-12 removal spells, it seems decent. And it's a two drop beater with nocturnus out. And I don't see anything wrong with a T3 nighthawk to T4 Lili boost

Plus, her +1 does have some relevance for the midrange-ish cmc (nocturnus, corrupt, blah blah)

It's a gross overestimate. Liliana is the only value card in the deck.

Money cards don't make a deck?  Artists are $3 a pop, Nocturnus is $3 a pop, mutilates are $2-$3 a pop, etc etc. just because I don't have any {Liliana of the Veil}s or anything doesn't mean there is no value at all.

25 is too much land and you have liliana ramp I would cut it down to 23-24

Why does it matter? Magic is a game that's meant to be enjoyed, and if you could do it cheaper, all the better!

Sweet deck though man! A one or two of {necropolis regent} could be fun here

Valid point. What else should I put in?  I'm thinking full out the playset of nocturnus for starters

She's really nice against control. Constantly hitting land drops and drawing new cards is a must.

Have you considered child of night over blood artist? It provides more of a defense and it'll work with the liliana -3 ability. If you're playing any deck with mana dorks, setting up blood artist of kill spell will cost you 3-5 life off the bat

Cut it down to 23 and add another and add Andorher nocturn, and blood artist because it is sooo good with all your removal and mutalate
