Need tips for Bloodcraft play

[ARedRose]

Anyone has any tips for Bloodcraft?

I seem to lose badly to decks that get a lot of creatures down. Besides Demonic Storm but at the cost of 6 it doesnt help me much when i can play it.

Also i don't seem to do well in comebacks. When my health is low my drain followers die before they attack...

I'm trying to play a deck that stalls until cost 8, so i have a lot of single removals waiting to play Azazel or Lucifer and start doing some damage, but i have a problem dealing with more than 2 creatures at a time.

Also, its often i have to waste a Dance of Death to kill a pixie because i have so many removals in my hand and no strong creature to kill.

So, tips? <.<

Also i would like to play a rush deck if possible, but besides the Demonic General i don't see other cards with Storm i can use to that effect, besides the 6 cost imp in my collection

Well blood is not my main deck so I only have that cheap bat aggro version, but it works good enough for me.

Thats how my version looks, so my start by showing yours.

Anyway while playing aggro bat you must always remeber that you're aggressor. Trade is only acceptable to either protect your current board state, which means pushing more damage in the future, or to survive potential lethal from your opponent. Always calculate how much damage you have and how to squeeze it every single turm. Learn to combo Vanias and vampiric castles, its a bit tricky actually but may provide tons of face damage from almost empty table.Think about your own hp as resource, just like any other card in your hand or on the table utilize it propely and abuse vengence if you can.

Overall its just about practice i guess. Aggro decks are not that hard to play.
As for control blood, i guess someone else may help.

Control Bloodcraft is not in a good spot right now, with so many meta decks able to either ignore Vengeance entirely (burst you down from 11+ HP in a turn, or alternate win condition like D-Shift or Seraph) or mitigate the effects of it (Bird Haven, Banner Sword, basically anything spamming Storm/Burn effects).

Revelation (8 mana, 4 when in Vengeance) is a better board clear than Demonic Storm in metas where it actually can drop for 4 mana and the face burn isn't a factor.

But all that said, you want advice on Aggro Blood, commonly called Bat Blood. While this isn't quite how I would build the deck, here's an example template from one of the few English sites: https://shadowverse.gamepress.gg/deck/aggro-bat-bloodcraft

Things that are optional in that list, or can be removed for tech choices, include: Midnight Vampire, Wind God, Blood Pact, Dance of Death, and if you want stability over high burst then Vampiric Fortress is not a must run either (its a feast or famine card and a generally awful late game draw.)

Cards to consider that aren't in that list: Serpent Charmer, Medusa's Gaze (over Dance of Death), Righteous Devil (wins the mirror and some Aggro matchups on its own), Demonic Strike, Angelic Barrage, Succubus (in really fast builds that run Bloodfed Flowerbed), more 2/2 for 2 mana followers like Dark Summoner/Unicorn Dancer Unica/etc or even more 1-drops like Goblin depending on how fast you want the build to be, Demonic Storm, Imp Lancer, Alucard.

Thanks to you both for taking the time to explain. Sadly i miss pretty much every card to make a Bat deck.

Well with every i mean no gold cards. (think the rares are called gold <.<)

You make a right choice. Blood is in a horrible place right now. You should play a cheap deck like Banner Sword which is dirt cheap and require no Legendary. Otohime would be great for it but she is not staple.

If you really want to make a Bloodcraft deck, you can just dismantle all of the cards from other classes to make it. Bloodcraft Bats is a budget deck because it doesn't need any legendaries. And some of the rares in decklists are optional you can find a sort of nearest analogue in commons and uncommons. It's a strong deck. It's just, like every other deck in the game, it's weak to Forestcancer.
