@ JacG: I have considered "Necropolis Regent, " but as you said, her mana cost is a little outrageous. By that turn, my vampires are typically around 15/15 first strike flyers with lifelink and haste. For whatever reason, I just don't like her. I love "Malakir Bloodwitch," I used to run a full play set of her in here because she was brutal, again, however, I found that simply buffing the vampires seems more efficient. As for "Butcher of Malakir" I would rather just run a "Grave Pact" because it does the same thing a good three or four turns earlier, when my vampires still die here and there, by turn seven or later they are pretty unstoppable. Anowon...I like him, I am just not too sure of where I would put him, and what I would replace. The chemistry of the deck works so well already. And with "Bloodlord of Vaasgoth" it is the same situation. "Falkenrath Aristocrat" is nice, but I don't like sacrificing my own creatures to keep one alive, generally, they are just as powerful as her, not to mention, I don't have humans, which is pretty much the reason she is good. I have a personal "thing" for the Nighthawk, in fact, I own 99 of them in a collection including a signed one, a foil, and an altered art. I just... I don't know, he doesn't fit into the deck where everything is buffing everything else (not including the highborn because she's so effective.)
