I haven't updated my cube since Khans and I've been sitting down and refining my list. One problem I've had is with black and figuring out how many one drops is enough because I need to add Bloodsoaked Champion. For reference, my cube is 360 and I currently have 7 one drops. My black section is:
Carnophage
Diregraf Ghoul
Gravecrawler
Sarcomancy
Tormented Hero
Vampire Lacerator
Gnarled Scarhide
Bloodghast
Dark Confidant
Dauthi Horror
Oona's Prowler
Pack Rat
Pain Seer
Vampire Hexmage
Hypnotic Specter
Ophiomancer
Vampire Nighthawk
Herald of Torment
Master of the Feast
Braids, Cabal Minion
Nekrataal
Skinrender
Shriekmaw
Grave Titan
Tombstalker
Planeswalker (1)
Liliana of the Veil
Instant (8)
Dark Ritual
Entomb
Vampiric Tutor
Diabolic Edict
Dismember
Doom Blade
Go for the Throat
Hero's Downfall
Sorcery (10)
I feel as though cutting a one drop is right because 8 seems like too many but I'm not sure. If I was to cut a one drop, which one would you recommend? I'm considering Tormented Hero vs Vampire Lacerator. I'm not sure if the extra point of toughness is worth a life every turn.
Unrelated, but I also plan on cutting Hypnotic Specter for Flesh Carver.
It depends on (1) how many people draft your cube, and (2) how you draft your cube. If you see less of your cube in a draft then I think going up to 8 1-drops is the better choice. If you see a lot of the cube and/or don't feel you have a shortage of 1-drops right now, then I can see keeping 7 being better. I run 7 in my cube and it's enough for us. Also, I prefer Tormented Hero to Vampire Lacerator.
How relevant has Vampire Hexmage's ability been for you guys? I can see her being a potential cut instead of Hippie.
