Part A)
The
Vampire Cutthroat and the
Child of Night are nice for the
lifelink, but ultimately they are not increasing the synergy of my deck. Replacing them with
Champion of Rhonas and
Hapatra, Vizier of poisons seems like a better fit at the least. As well as
Splendid Agony might be a better fit than say
Supernatural Stamina. All those suggestions make a lot of sense. Your totally right, I am missing out on a large
opportunity to take advantage of a army of deathtouch tokens.
Part B)
That all makes a lot of sense. That was some of the impression that I was getting. Because the cards mechanically work so similarly or synergistically, the number of a specific card in a set deck size is less important that the ratios of
like cards to make the deck function.
