I honestly think this deck needs a lot of work {vampire nighthawk} {Olivia voldaren} {go for the throat} {sign in blood} and if your splashing blue ponder and think twice for card advantage

And {bloodline keeper} is a must. 

Main issue is ur deck is gonna get owned by small board wipes like {whipflare}

Yeah right now its just a mess whilst i try to figure out the best route for it. Im also trying to stay away from rotating cards.

Kind of know what you mean; I have been putting my T2 Vampire (BR) deck on the backburner since DKA. It is the only tribe aside from Demons/Devils that I cannot build a deck that can win with. Its either too glass cannon (potentially hits fast and hard, but any form of blockers screws the slith like effect from kicking in) or too slow (loss of life due to creature loss).
Then again, I am missing the core vampire like Oli and Bloodline.

Why do these slith-like vampires not atleast fly!!

I reworked it to be extremly aggro but i have no idea how this would work in a real game!

Haha! Stroke of genieus! Or rather realisation of former ignorance. VampirE nighthawks! Together with the captain they're flying {murder}s or murderers in this case! I ruled them out before on a hastey thought that {1}{B}{B} would be too much black for the land ratio but when it worked with murder i had already forgotten about my flying friend!
