Hello everyone, and welcome to another Daily Arena. Today I’m back with another update on what I’ve found so far while playing Mono-White Vampires. How it matches up against other decks, as well as some gameplay videos.

First, here is the deck list. I’ve listed the current list as I’ve been playing it, as well as the target list that I’m working toward as I collect cards/wildcards.

Current List:



Mono-White Vampires

Target List:



andreliverod's Mono-White Vampires

I have some data on match-ups, and will update this as I collect more. For each new match-up I have enough data on to mention below, I’ve got some notes on why/when the Mono-White Vampires deck seems to be good or bad against it, as well as a video containing some representative gameplay.

First, my win percentages with this deck vs. other decks:

R/W Dinosaur/Vampire Aggro – 100%

G/U Merfolk – 100%

B/G Explore – 50%

U/R Spells – 50%

W/U Tokens – 0%

R/G Dinosaurs – 80%

G/W Dinosaurs – 100%

Mono-Red Aggro/Burn – 75%

U/W Dinosaurs/Tokens – 100%

U/B Control – 0%

W/B Vampires – 100%

B/R Pirates – 0%

G/W Tokens – 100%

U/B Control

I finally started seeing this deck, and losing to it a lot. Scarab God is not the worst thing in this match-up, but Search for Azcanta get these decks card advantage that it’s hard to keep up with, and a well-timed small sweeper like Golden Demise can devastate the aggro plan.

W/B Vampires

The W/B version of the Vampires deck is not as aggressive as this one, with some of the lists being positively mid-range. Every time I’ve played against this, I’ve been able to put the opponent far enough behind quickly enough that it’s been impossible for them to recover.

B/R Pirates

The combo of aggressive creatures and cheap removal have put me on the back foot every time I’ve played against the B/R Pirates deck. It’s the one aggro plan that has consistently out-aggroed my Vampires.

For further details on other match-ups, see Mono-White Vampires Progress Update #1.

Before I go, here’s a gratuitous screenshot of finally collecting my first Legion’s Landing for the deck. Score!





And that’s all for this update!
