Anyone want to take a crack at this one?

deck:blackblue-meta-thirst-vamps

The idea is that the Onyx Mage can fly over (regrettably, with Cobbled Wings to allow the other vamps to bloodthirst or the Taste of Blood can create a quick damage/lifegain to bloodthirst a vamp one turn later than it's CMC. Despise , Distress , Tribute to Hunger , and Doom Blade hold the line until creatures hit the battlefield. Transform the Bloodline Keeper  Flip  FlipMTG Card: Lord of Lineage and then the fun starts.

Obviously I need to splash in some blue cards and some Islands, but I really like the original idea of copying a bloodthirsty vamp on turn 3 for 2 life with the Phyrexian Metamorph (or for 5 mana if you have a Shimmering Grotto in play later in the game). Used to run Adaptive Automaton , but the build was too slow.Any ideas? I'm keeping this standard and have been working on it for a while...
