LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK ON HOW TO FINISH THIS DECK//CURRENTLY UNFINISHED!

This is the Standard Vampire tribal deck I'm currently working on. I've been testing certain cards here and there for a while, and the deck has seen some success but also has a few weaknesses. It is also unfinished, as I have not decided what creatures work better than others, how many to have of certain ones, and what the best sideboard cards or key things to include that I may have missed would be. Would love some advice on it.

Tested Strategies

The main concept of the deck is to overwhelm the opponent with creatures - not only vampires with strong or overall helpful abilities (such asYahenni, Undying Partisan, Bishop of Rebirth, Bishop of the Bloodstained, and Vona, Butcher of Magan, but also tokens from Legion's Landing   and Mavren Fein, Dusk Apostle. Metallic Mimic boosts all creatures' power and toughness, including those of tokens, and many creatures' Lifelink abilities cause you to rapidly gain life whilst reducing your opponent's both by attacking and due to certain creatures' abilities (such as Sanctum Seeker and Vicious Conquistador).

So far, what seems useful about this deck is that it has not only interesting, low-cost (with some higher-cost) creatures with excellent abilities, but also a few key removal spells to keep your game moving in the direction you want it to go.

Gifted Aetherborn is an extremely useful low-cost card to play that can keep opponents from attacking with useful creatures that they may have like Carnage Tyrant. I use it as my ultimate blocker. Authority of the Consuls can not only gain you more life but also give you free hits against your opponent when their newly-brought-in creatures can't block.

Untested Strategies and Issues I Have Noticed

The sideboard has yet to be finished and tested. The deck can hopefully more effectively respond to a control deck or a deck with indestructible creatures, enchantments, or artifacts that cause serious trouble for your strategy with extra Duress, Doomfall, Demystify and Vraska's Contempt. Slash of Talons and Vampire's Zeal can be used as combat strategies in order to take out pesky attackers or blockers.

I have not decided on a Planeswalker to run for this deck, if any.

Currently, I have not decided on exactly the creatures to run in this deck - I don't know whether Skyblade of the Legion is a better choice than Bishop's Solider, whether both should be run, or neither. I also feel like Vanquisher's Banner is just a way more expensive version of Metallic Mimic, but the potential for card advantage is tempting. I do not know if I should run more Bishop of Rebirth or Bishop of the Bloodstained, because I am worried about my cards becoming too expensive to cast if I have too many 5 drop cards. I also don't know if I'm running simply too many removal spells in my sideboard, and I don't know what I would take out of the deck if I needed them.

I have not decided if Anointed Procession would be a good card for this deck.

ALSO - Yes, I know my main deck is 62 cards and side is 17 - It's not finalized, that's why the numbers are over.

I also don't really know how many copies of certain cards to run. I may have the numbers in this totally wrong.

All in all, more playtesting is needed. I'll keep this updated, and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
