I personally dislike falkenrath aristocrat since it is a 4/1 flying with a sac humans ability. This card is only good in a sacrifice humans deck, and unfortunately there arent many of those to be found. The major downslide is that your opponent can block with say a delver of secrets and kill your aristocrat.
I would not run child of night in a standard constructive deck simply because it doesn't do enough. It trades with a 2 body creature or chumps to gain 2 life most of the time.

Instead, you should use markov blademaster and rakish heir in your deck as well as curse of stalked prey. Olivia vordaren is a much better addition to your deck than falkenrath aristocrat.

Falkenrath Aristcrat is in there for agro and you don't have to sacrifice a human to make him good. You just lose out on a +1/+1 counter, he's still indestructible. Olivia is more control based and I'm going for agro. And child of night is amazing with stromkirk captain.

Olivia is simply a better creature than falkenrath since she can keep dealing damage to creatures and gets pumped faster. Falkenrath loses out on the 1/1 counter so it remains a 4/1 that dies to gut shot unless you are willing to give up something else.
Child of night has such a low toughness that it will simply perish to anything, one again, fails the gut shot test. All it will do is gain you two life for two mana.

The deck you're talking about is too slow and dies late game and is too slow to push out an early game win. I've tried both decks and agro is the better choice. And child of night of one of the better choices for a two drop vampire, also the lifelink gives you that exta survivability to last those one or two turns if needed.

Not a vampire. He doesn't benefit from vampiric fury or stromkirk captain.

He's still good in a vampire deck though.

He's only good for falkenrath aristocrat, and his own bloodthirst ability. He doesn't benefit from anything else.

Ok, Olivia is simply a better card I evey shape and form. They cost the same, Olivia is just one weaker than aristocrat, but she can make herself a 5/5 the very next turn and bigger after that, and kill all their blockers, there is nothing that aristocrat does that is better, even her sac ability you must give another creature in aristocrats place when she is going to die.

[Alaskanice]

I agree with apple on this. If people don't kill my Olivia on the first turn she is out, then they lose every time.

[InfinitiveDivinity]

This is a completely different deck than mine. I guess mine is the crappier control version, as you'd put it. Hey man, it wins games. And as far a {Child of Night} goes, I can also vouch that it is a pretty solid card, I wish there were better options, but for the 2 drop, she's all we have.

{vampire interloper}?

[InfinitiveDivinity]

Evasion, yes, but he can't block

[Validan]

I find he procs blood thirst well because of his evasion, so often I don't want to block with him anyway but I can definitely see that as a drawback
