Another overhaul based on fnm results. Just want my first top 8 on a home brew and any suggestions are welcome. I am working on the land situation as we speek and it will be fixed in the next update.

Bump for a deck I think can be good, want to main 4 {Duress} but need some help with what to cut.

Try picking up a couple {Vault of the Archangel}, that card is an AMAZING stabilizer, also, this is probably a win more, but Wizardmook I believe posted this combo: {Skeletal Grimace} + {High Priest of Penance} = a very very deadly blocker! Just something to think about. I like the deck! This looks very similar to a deck my buddy Gareth has been running, although his has some {R} in it as well.

Went 1-1-2 at FNM last night with this deck. I just updated into a seemingly better version.

You're gunna have a hard time without blue I think. I'd have to cockatrice this to try. Uhmm is recommend terminus 2-3 of and some more draw mechanic like sign in blood

Use  {Crypt Ghast} for mana acceleration and extort. Use {Bloodgift Demon} and {Essence Harvest} along with  {Obzedat, Ghost Council} for some meaty life swinging action.

Also if you can get  {Exquisite Blood} out things start to get a little crazy.

Re standardizing this deck and not at home so o I am missing pieces

Aladormax

Finally managed to update this with all of my pieces. I'm looking at orzhov midrange being a thing for Bjorn of the gods standard. Sideboard help is appreciated as always, and I learned that I hate esper control and  {Blood Baron of Vizkopa}
