I went ahead and bought Coffers and urborg... I cut Kalitas and a few of the more expensive cards that could be substituted with cheaper counterparts. Updated with current lists, including a few more cards from BFZ like Grip of Desolation and Bloodbond Vampire.
As you can see it is very tribal heavy, including some less optimal cards that fit the vampire theme. Right now I'm close to considering this list complete... but I will have to wait on a few cards until I have some more money... are there any good replacements for Cabal Coffers, Urborg and Patriarch's Bidding? Those are the only three that will be out of range for a while.
I'd also like some input on my overall 99... mana etc. You're the pros!
Wave of Reckoning, Fell the Mighty and Elspeth, Sun's Champion are all excellent additions. I can easily replace Extinguish All Hope with one of those wipes as its not nearly as useful.
Thanks for your input! More enchantment based removal synergizes with the deck itself. I'm rarely concerned with a turn one play in multiplayer commander, though... not sure steel wall would be needed... but I will keep him in mind if it turns out I need it.
I see the revoker bible... is there a similar bible for Port/Wasteland... like what takes priority over what in the big decks... is it more profitable to tap a green/black or red/black in Jund... etc.
Wizards of the Coast has revealed to MTV Geek that at Hasbro ToyShop in San Diego Comic-Con they will be offering a limited edition collection of "Magic: The Gathering" 2014's Planeswalker cards. The five cards will be presented with unique black-on-black art by Steve Prescott, variants of those found in the core Magic 2014 set. Below you will find both the Magic 2014 and the SDCC version of Garruk.

There are a bunch of cards I use in my Vorel deck that aren't here, but one that is a total house is fungal behemoth. Hits usually at critical mass (eg >40/40) and after a few Vorel taps become ginormous.
And yes, bloodghast IS a very good vampire... but he was one of the ones I cut in order to afford coffers/urborg. Maybe someday
Input always welcome.

Wow, I had never seen Fungal Behemoth before... that's a good one.
I like Wispmare for the flying. Lots of Kahlia on MTGO.
