After some play testing on Cockatrice I've decided to change the sideboard around a bit. Also after playing a mirror match up I noticed the staying power of Wolfir Avenger over Vampire Nighthawk. So I decided to make the switch, maybe it was just because he was managing to snag my Vampire Nighthawk with his own Olivia Voldaren but I'll test it out and maybe throw one of them in the side and the other main. Also got rid of the Wolfir Silverheart and added another Olivia Voldaren. She is just such a better card. Still continuing to test. It seems like it will be a viable archetype.
Sidenote: While I have been unable to win with Vraska the Unseens ultimate yet, I've managed to still pop it and bring players to do desperate things. Her -3 is still incredibly useful, and her +1 just means if they avoid her she only gets scarier. I'm liking her more than Liliana of the Veil because I dislike the idea of also putting myself at card disadvantage.
Also try to look into a sideboard to stop Geist of Saint Traft + Sigarda, Host of Herons as it seems to be a developing archetype.

Dawntreader Elk is a better alternative to Borderland Ranger as it lets you ramp while being a morbid on command.
Borderland Ranger works better with effects like Faithless Looting where having a card you can cycle out is more worthwhile than the immediate ramp effect.
Gatecreeper Vine may be the best mana fixer but does not fit into an aggressive or midrange deck and fits into many decks that can use Borderland Ranger .
