Mark of Fire.  I find myself losing consistently (roughly 25% win ratio) against  and the Firefly Queen, with under 50% against  .  Originally, the deck had Liquid Shadow in place of the Minor Vampires, but it seems more stable now.  Helpful advice besides upgrading is greatly appreciated.

Hmm I personally don't like minor vampires inside since it doesn't fit with the deck.

Consider adding some steals, they are versatile. Also maybe reduce no of pend.

You might also want to consider pandemonium and entropy like AI3 equivalent. They are surprisingly effective against AI3. Voodoo doll are also cool with other synergies like basilisk blood, poisons, etc.

Thanks for the input.  Swapped out the Minor Vampires and Nightfall, and some of the pendulums for pillars.  Better?

Nope, now I'm ending up with far too many situations where I have Rage Potions with nothing to target, or Voodoo Dolls clustered in the deck with no Rage Potions to boost them....

Tried AI3 a few times and it worked pretty well. Rage pot a voodoo 2 times, then vampire it.

As I said in the first post, my original deck had Liquid Shadows in place of Minor Vampires.  They made the deck run unpredictably and - often - slowly.

I know you said that, but adding minor vampires doesn't help either. They also help stall. A rage pot+LS voodoo can stall for a decently long time against AI3.

First of all it's best to limit the deck to 30 cards since you absolutely need to draw both the Voodoo Doll and the Rage Potion for your primary damage. Second I'd recommend 3-4 Voodoo Dolls, since you can use up to 3 on a single doll and it will still live to do damage, though the preferred amount is 2 rage potions per doll since it can still take a hit that way (and you won't waste too many cards should it go down).

Even though you mentioned having tried Liquid Shadow and dismissing it I would still like to recommend it. Liquid Shadow on your Voodoo Doll allows more healing than Minor Vampires and will cause your opponent to be poisoned due to the Voodoo effect. Moreover, the Pharaoh and Firefly Queen deck that seem to be troubling you with your current deck can be rendered rather useless by using Liquid Shadow on them, since they will no longer have the ability to summon creatures.

Sample deck including the things I advise:
