Hey Guys! I have been working on a B/R arggo Vamp deck. I started off for a mid-range but decided to go with arggo instead. It is set up around the madness mechanics. The deck seems to go ok but I think there is a lot more that needs to be done to make it better. Take a look at the deck and give any suggestions. I am open to any ideas. One other thing, I do not have any Drana, Liberator of Malakir or Olivia, Mobilized for War so that is why they are not listed in the deck. I know they would be a good addition to the deck but I can't afford to get them right now. So other than Drana and Olivia, what suggestions do you have?
I agree with taking out white. There are so many good red/black madness cards with vampires to support them that adding white becomes unnecessary. I've been looking around the budget forum and getting ideas. Here is a list I put together. I happen to own a Drana already but you could replace her with another Incorrigible Youths. Also Ultimate Price is good removal. I don't have it in currently but I may put it in eventually.
I think I would probably run at least 3 and maybe even 4 of the Murderous Compulsion. I'm not a big fan of the Sinister Concoction. Instead of the Infernal Scarring I would recomend the Tormenting Voice. It doesn't pump up your creatures but it does allow for a card draw and it helps out with madness. I have been looking at the Stoneforge Masterwork as well. Not really sure yet though. How is your deck running?
You are probably right about Murderous Compulsion. There is plenty of Madness enabling stuff in the deck plus there is other instant speed removal. I forgot that Murderous Compulsion can become instant speed when paired with madness.
My deck isn't running at all right now unfortunately. The card shop that moved into town recently isn't hosting any events yet. In the next week or two they'll start hosting stuff. I'll build the deck and test it when they do. I'll keep paying attention to the thread and giving ideas when I can, but I can't give actual play feedback.

Any ideas for the sideboard?
