Vampire Post M13/ Return To Ravnica 67 cards, 7 sideboard 4 {Blood Crypt} 6 {Swamp} 3 {Cavern of Souls} 4 {Dragonskull Summit} 5 {Mountain} 22 lands 4 {Child of Night} 4 {Stromkirk Captain} 3 {Olivia Voldaren} 3 {Vampire Nocturnus} 4 {Vampire Nighthawk} 3 {Bloodline Keeper} 4 {Stromkirk Noble} 25 creatures 4 {Tragic Slip} 2 {Murder} 4 {Go for the Throat} 3 {Bonfire of the Damned} 13 other spells Sideboard 3 {Volt Charge} 1 {Bloodthrone Vampire} 3 {Falkenrath Exterminator} 7 sideboard cards Notes: Cards in side are post Return to Ravnica. Blood Crype also, but I had no other cards to put in there for it. Thoughts, Comments, sideboard help, all is appreciated. BTW I have bloodthrone vampire in for another 2 drop so i don't have to run 3 red falkenrath exterminators. It hurts Vampire nocturnus. BTW someone tell me if lands count as like swamp is black for vampire nocturnus. Also i think stromkirk captain and other gold cards count as black cards. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks!

Go for the throat will rotate once RtR comes in.  Lands, unless specifically stated like {dryad arbor}, are colorless so a swamp on top deck does not help Nocturnus.

When Go for the throught rotates out, murder count will go up to 3 and volt charges come in. Thanks for land help.

Volt charge will rotate too.
Pretty much when RtR comes out there will be no infect or proliferate.

Oh... Volt charge... Need to find replacement!

No proliferate but you could use {Volcanic Geyser}

Sounds good.

{Flames of the Firebrand} and {Searing Spear} are also viable options for Standard, depending on where your mana band is. {Volcanic Geyser} is only better than {Searing Spear} if you're prepared to spend 6 or more mana. More flexible, but also much slower.

Both are good options to considor.

Something that has worked out extremly well for me is nighthaw + {Dark favor}
More efficient than youd think and makes hawkman {searing blade}/{incinerate} proof

I recomend running no red cards. That includes losing the {stormkirk nobles}. You want nocturnus to hit every time. And {olivia} should be side board 2 copies. Cards I wouldn't overlook to keep nocturnus working and swap out for the nobles.
1 {liliana of the dark realms}
1 {black sun's zenith}
2 {grave purge}

Hands black sun is rotating out
