11/01/24 - Update after a couple of games vs the other Precons (January, pre- upgrades)
As a value engine, Carmen is shockingly good. When people realized just how good she was she drew a lot of hate. People were sacrificing clues, treasures, fetch lands etc. and playing right into it. When I remembered she actually has a life gain ability i was cruising just above starting life total for a while. I think I'm justified in my choice to give her a little more protection.
Etchings of the Chosen was fantastic protection but ate a removal spell after one turn. I definitely want to keep that one in the deck.
I was able to avoid losing her to red interaction by saccing as much stuff as possible to sac outlets to make her too big to die to the damage but the issue was some of the other precons built up large board states which meant I had to use wipes and Carmen herself became so expensive to re-cast I could do little else on my turns.
I'm hoping once I've replaced the traditional wipes with mass-sacrifice effects like Single Combat and Cataclysmic Gearhulk I can easily deal with big boards while keeping Carmen.
Glass-Cast Heart was very good at both generating blood tokens which pump her as well as looting stuff into the graveyard, and also chucked out some helpful blockers at a pinch. I'm considering a Collector's Vault along the same lines (loots and provides a token to sacrifice).
The ability to bring the same creature back the combat after the main phase where you sacrifice it is very handy. I've been looking at Gravelighter as a perfect example of this, so I would cast the Gravelighter first main, sac it and force each opponent to sac a creature, grow Carmen by 4 power then swing in and return the Gravelighter - drawing a card, because it had died already - and forcing another three sacrifices growing Carmen by 4 again to 10 power. Its like a miniature board wipe. I think Gravelighter is definitely impactful enough to want to put into month 1 so I'm pulling out Cliffhaven Vampire for a later month. This is really only in there as a combo with Exquisite Blood and I have already decided not to bother with Epicure of Blood, my thinking is get the synergistic pieces in place first as the combo is something you're only going to draw into by chance so trying to force it in month 1 is a waste of time.

Would recommend Blade of the Bloodchief + Glass-Cast Heart along with Malakir Bloodwitch Patron of the Vein and Cordial Vampire! :)

This deck looks very fun. I love the blood token themed cards that are legal in EDH. Really good Blood token cards! Glass-Cast Heart is awesome - wish that was legal in Standard/Pioneer! How consistent is the deck when playing it?

Kazierts for life gain i like Noble Purpose, because it's a good universal life gain card that I already own, and I threw Glass-Cast Heart in there for the cheap tokens and life gain/loss. My idea would be to keep one Regal Bloodlord cut the other, cut Restless Bloodseeker Flip Glass-Cast Heart and Defiant Bloodlord for 2 of Vito and 2 blight-preist

I was actually going to suggest you to run both. Vito is an amazing card, but it's legendary, so you really don't want to draw multiples of it. You could probably cut Noble Purpose and Glass-Cast Heart for two copies of Vito.
