Who's your commander?

 {Olivia Voldaren}. I derped pretty hard there lol. Sorry.

A vampire heavy deck will always love {Blade of the Bloodchief}. It's super cheap on your mana and gets out of hand in a hurry, especially on a creature like {Vampire Nighthawk}.

The Kaldra set is super fun, but needs a tutors if you're going to get all 3. Lots of tutors. The good news is that even without the full set, each individual piece is a threat.

I personally like {Batterskull} with vampires, more lifelink and bonus trample just seems to fit their theme, and it's a really good card.

{Bloodlord of Vasgoth} is another good addition to consider, making every one of your vamps a threat. {Blood Artist}, {Falkenrath Noble}, and {Kalastria Highborn} are all solid utility vampires, and the Bloodlord will make them viable attackers or blockers as well.

I had  {Blade of the Bloodchief} in here for a while. I found that whenever I would equip it to anything it would die in VERY short order. That's one of the reasons I don't run  {Rakish Heir} either. {batterskull} needs a slot though.

This is less Vampire lords ({bloodlord of vaasgoth}} etc) and more B/R control. The lords I do have are useful because one is a thief and one gives me first strike across the board, couple that with the large amount of Deathtouch equipment and it makes someone think twice about attacking.
