    --------------------------------------------------------------

    Okay, that's the idealized version of the deck. I stand by the potential change just to have something that will work to bolster the whole crew very well with Cursed of Stalked Prey. I favor the Caldera because while it does bounce a land, it doesn't come into play tapped. There were originally Four Piranha Marsh to back it all up and increase early damage but I want to see how it functions with more readily available mana.

    At present I have ~61% of the deck:
    Lands: 12/20
    Darigaaz’s Caldera x0
    Dragonskull Summit x0
    Mountain x6
    Swamp x6

    Creatures: 17/28
    Gatekeeper Of Malakir x3
    Olivia Voldaren x0
    Stromkirk Noble x0– likely to be cut due to rarity & cost to -> Rakish Heir x2
    Vampire Nighthawk x3
    Bloodcrazed Neonate x4
    Bloodline Keeper x1
    Guul Draz Vampire x3
    Pulse Tracker x3

    Spells: 4
    Feast of Blood x4

    Enchantments/Curses: 3/6
    Curse of Stalked Prey x2
    Bloodchief Ascensionx1

    Artifacts: 2/4
    Blade of the Bloodchief x2
    Finally, a new generation of Pokemon for us to enjoy. There is much to look forward to in 2011!

    Stromkirk Captain for the Noble spot? Vampiric Fury could be game.

    Why are you using Darigaaz's Caldera? Why not Blackcleave Cliff's or something useful? You don't need this. Heck even Savage Lands would be better.

    The deck actually came together as I designed it for once!
    (Potentially Sans Olivia Volerna, whom I'm considering replacing with Ascendant Evincar)

    Darigaaz's caldera has a unique property which has been useful to me before. While I need to return a land to my hand, it enters play untapped. Done right, I can easily pull mana from a land before I bounce it and then use it to cast a spell. Blackcleave cliffs ONLY enters play untapped if you control less then 2 swamps or mountains. I'd rather deal with the bounce than the wait.
