Notes:
Thought I would post this due to the recent talk of how bad tribal vamps is in standard. The problem with some camp decks is that vamps isn't fast, so it needs to have some aspect of control. This deck has been being worked on for a while, and tends to stomp at FNM's, about 1/2 the time gets first. The only problem is that it has a lot of 4 drops, but that tends to not be a problem. Technically not Completely mono-black, but all non-lands activate Nocturnus.... So.....

Love it, will certainly be making some revisions to my current vampire deck.

You can't run vampires without nobles, Just cannot be done without some form
Of one drop board presence with all the different types on meta right now.

I've run vamps for a while and have yet to play a {Stromkirk Noble} once.  That's just me though, and I don't usually play standard 

Oh no I'm splashing red for one card that is still a black card! It's the end of the world that called it mono-B!!! And I don't have money for that. Contrary to popular belief, not EVERY red deck needs bonfire.

I've done fine without it so far. It's not nessecary. It just doesn't fit... Vampires is a rather slow archetype that is more control-esqe, and Noble is an aggro card

I have seen Noble do a hell of a lot more damage along side goblins and other "rush" cards.  I honestly don't know that I've seen him work well in a tribal vamp deck.

I am aware. They are the only things that don't activate Nocturnus

{Ghoulcaler's Bell} works awesome with Nocturnous.
