Here's some cards that you might like. Some are better for sideboard than mainboard, depending on your opponent's decks. Please note that the cards I'm pointing to you here are all 3 CMC or less, so you have a more solid mana curve

• Authority of the Consuls
• Chaplain's Blessing
• Griffin Aerie
• Heliod's Intervention
• Hushbringer
• Lone Rider  ^Flip

Black:

• Blood Artist
• Bloodchief Ascension
• Cling to Dust
• Nightmare's Thirst
• Shamble Back
• Sorin's Thirst

I purposely sellected cards that interact with Life, so they can contribute to your main strategy one way or the other. Hope it helps!

Thank you naynay666 for the very comprehensive review. I specially liked how you pointed out Vicious Hunger's inferiority to Disfigure. As you noticed, this is not really built to be a true aggro vampire deck. I'll definitely try out your suggestions as I already have most of the cards suggested and the rest should not be much of a challenge to acquire.

This is surprisingly solid considering the theme. +1.

Could use a push in the aggro direction to make it brutal.

Dark Impostor is a trap. It seems legit, but with an aggro deck you want to be closing out the game by the time you have 6+ lands.

Vampire Envoy should also be cut. Compare it directly to your other 3 drops to see how weak it really is. You want to be decimating your opponent's life total, not marginally raising your own.

Carrier Thrall is a 2 drop 2/1 that replaces itself with a 1/1. Guul Draz Vampire can be nasty. Shadow Alley Denizen is a 1 drop that grants evasion. Vampire Lacerator might be the hero your deck needs.

Night's Whisper would be very beneficial- and it's even on theme! You're going to love having a second Sign in Blood on turn 4 or 5. Altar's Reap isn't horrible, and can be exceptionally good in the face of opposing removal.

Dark Ritual would make for very explosive starts. Turn 1 Nighthawk is no joke.

Disfigure is prime removal. It's far superior to Vicious Hunger, but slightly less thematic. Sorin's Thirst is better than Hunger, but still cutable.

Exsanguinate and Consume Spirit are both awesome, but they are both very slow. They are both a turn 5, 5 mana for a sorcery speed Lightning Helix.

Sadistic Sacrament is awesome. Probably more of a sideboard card but awesome nonetheless. I love Arrogant Bloodlord. I would force it, but I don't know if I would suggest anybody else try it.

TL;DR

Remove:
Dark Impostor
Vampire Envoy
Vicious Hunger
Sorin's Thirst
Exsanguinate
Consume Spirit
Sadistic Sacrament

Add:
Carrier Thrall
Guul Draz Vampire
Shadow Alley Denizen
Vampire Lacerator
Night's Whisper
Dark Ritual
Disfigure

Hey thank you for your constructive answer. Dark Ritual was not declared as not modern legal. I think i will kick Carnophage for Diregraf Ghoul.Bump in the Night seems really nice in fact of switching Vicious Hunger when no Carnophage is in the deck. I think i will try this. Thx 4 that.

Advice on your destroy spells:

They are fine for a casual deck; the Vicious Hunger is cool because it gains you life but might miss killing a lot of threats who have more than 2 toughness, so it might be a better sideboard card to bring in against aggressive weenie decks.

I would only run 1 Reprisal at most; if you're looking for versatility then check out Valorous Stance, or like i mentioned before Vampire Nighthawk can act as a destroy spell (similar to Gideon's Reproach) but then can also be a threat and gain you life.

Besides that Dismember would be nice 1 one for you especially because you'll prob have the extra life to spare to cast it in a pinch. Else I like Smother as a 1 of; and Path to Exile is arguably the best creature removal card in modern but cost a little more moolah.
