Notes:
Because it is B/R you need a way to be fast and chronic with each turn. Cheap humans are a way to go. A lot of field removal and have that mimic vat ready to make more demon chow , or worse, sac a human to the ravenous demon then swing and fling for 18 points and have the archdemon of greed under mimic vat

Time for another episode of the guru channel.......
I like this deck's idea to sacrifice creatures, put them into a vat and spam them out again. I believe this idea can be really fun, but there are some things that needs to be adressed.
1. RB decks are very playable (infact, something I still need to try). It contains many of the right removals to make this deck work. Good choice of the color sheme.
2. A problem about this deck that I see is that you run the wrong removals. You have only 4 flings to make your creatures die to try an enable your tragic slips to work. That is bad because it brings upon an inconsistent play, often times not working the way you want it to. Because of such inconsistency, this deck will often times have synergy problems. I would recogmend removing some of the clunky removals such as fling and tragic slip from your deck (yes I am advocating for a synergy change). Instead, replacing them with powerful removals such as {brimstone volley}, {dismember}, {doomblade}, etc. There are so many things that remove more effectively, and will work with mimic vat. I believe that this deck's color scheme is more fit to run mimic vat than for sacrifices.
3. Morbid things should go away. Although your deck idea seems good on paper, real morbid things are underpowered in the current metagame. Wakedancer is more or less a 3 mana 2/2, or at the very best, 3 for a 4/4. Decks like this can more appreciate {Olivia voldaren}, stormkirk noble and other cards which are staples for red/black decks.
4. Synergy change. I believe that once this deck goes from morbid destroy/sac into mimic vat aggro, it would run much more smoothly. Once the creature base has been altered, (add: {stormkirk noble}, {Olivia voldaren}, {bloodline keeper}, {stormblood berserker}) you can build a very successful deck when combo with {curse of stalked prey}. All your creatures get bigger as they hit your opponent because they can't block with their creatures in your mimic vat.
Once the changes has been made, I believe this deck would become very competitive.

*Sets PVR* Is this a regularly scheduled program, or a feature presentation? ;)
Awesome thanks for the comments and I will take off the morbid bc I do test play and i never have enough mana for the wake dancer to come in play. And I don't have enough creatures to fling.
Vampires are pretty awesome, yup I'm totally running those cards :D
