I would take out Viscera Seer and find yourself a playset of Vampire Nighthawk . Good start for sure.

if you want a cheap creature (cost wise) for continuous sacrifice i use Reassembling Skeleton and if you decide to run legacy a more expensive card that is a bit more pricey Grave Pact has amazing control in sacrifice and you could also delve into Nether Traitor .

check out my deck:black-kamikaze-final-version deck, hope it helps.

if your going for a vamp deck then check my Vampire Control deck, let me know if any of these are a hit or miss.

thank you crazykillsftw, reassembling skeleton is a great idea and I think my friends might have a few lying around. I'll have to try to shimmy it in somewhere

Friendly Idea over here, i'd suggest trying out some Captivating Vampire 's on for size. You can steal creatures, turn them into vampires, power them up, and use them on your opponent. Hope that helps some.

Not a problem, I like to try and help out a fellow gamer when I can.

P.S. Just added my sideboard.Its more of a legacy style sideboard.

Oh, another idea to help, reduce the number of Viscera Seer 's down to 2, and get 2 Vampire Lacerator 's. They are cheap, they are strong, and if you hit your opponent fast enough, you wont suffer much for the upkeep portion; "at the beginning of your upkeep, you lose 1 life, unless an opponent has 10 or less life" something like that. another nice addin would be to get a couple card:Vampire's Bite's in there.

Hope this helps you some more!

Thanks, I discovered something very important lastnite while playing some extensive testing games with my roomate. The deck's biggest foes are counter decks, and creatures with swampwalk. In the games I played, I quickly discovered how dangerous they can be. Every game, my roomate was able to kill me due to the swampwalk creatures Blistergrub . silly i know, but the things we discovered were quite important to gameplay for both our behalf. Dont be afraid if your personal deck doesnt work as planned, its a game, a fun one at that. But as for sideboards, to be honest, mine was just half-arsed together, i put much more thought into the deck. if i can come up with a good sideboard, i will keep you posted.

Have Fun!!

After a bunch of my own play testing I have figured out that my biggest enemy is Consume the Meek since I only have 3 cards above 3 mana cost..[[Anowon, the Ruin Sage], Sarkhan the Mad , and card:Demon of Death's Gate. even my Quest for the Gravelord creatures count as 1 converted mana cost (I think). Now if I can only find a way around that card I should be set-ish

The Elixir of Immortality helps solve the creature problem, you dont regen the creatures, you regen the deck and get the back. this way, the only way to get around it from the opponent's side is if they exile your graveyard. but as i recall, there are even ways around that one as well. all in all, the deck is setup to have a couple primary strategies, then a few plan alterations to solve new problems. then when all else fails, it has contingeonsy (sorry about spelling) plans; if lose is inevitable, you can kill yourself with a list of different spells and deprive your opponent the pleasure of actually beating you themselves.

Kalastria Highborn would be a great addition to this deck if you are going for vampire sacrificing. It is a very low mana cost for what you get out of it.

Kalastria Highborn is also like $4 a piece, and I'm not ready to spend that much money for a card, especially when I just play MTG with two of my buddies! but yeah I agree it's a sick card and it would make a great addition to my deck
