Not much to say. This can beat other rushes like grabbows,immorushes(if they get at most mid-start),because vampires + eclipses gives you enough time to get gargoyles out and finish him out. Here it is.

v2 For much more stability and greater EM chance.

You are able to switch a pillar for a vamp dagger but, i wouldnt because in early game,you need more quanta for a faster set up to increase win rate against immorushes because they are really fast.

Not sure if this works in testing, but you may want to replace a Gargoyle or two with another Eclipse or two, to increase your chance of drawing it for a greater EM chance. Maybe include a Vampire Dagger for more vampiric awesomeness?

EMs are hardly a point genius.

That said, I'd say definitely add in a vagger (1 :darkness for 4 vampire or 2 :darkness for 6 vampire is fantastic). It's nice to see a pure offensive mono dark, but it seems your creatures are fragile as well. Have you considered blood sucker?

Or Cloak, if it's supposed to stay Mono. If not, I agree, they are a good defense and nice, cheap damage dealer, especially with eclipse :)

Derp.

I think the deck may benefit from an added Steal or two, perhaps replacing a Gargoyle or a Gargoyle and Vampire.

Adding more cheaper creatures in is a way to mitigate the devastating effects of CC (but not AoE).

Vampire Dagger is as good as an Eclipsed Vampire for a fraction of the cost - I would add one here.

I was gonna add Vamp Dagger but wasnt sure what should i take out.
I am really thinking switching a gargoyle for eclipse and a pillar for adding a vamp dagger. I am gonna test both and decide which.

Efficient, albeit fragile, attackers. With an eclipse in play, you get a 9|4 creature for only 5 :darkness.

Woah, just learned that Elite Gargoyles are as OP as Elite Chargers :)

Now that I know that, I know that that deck is insane. Good job. :)
