Welcome to the club, HateJay!
First couple of notes I have: do you want this to be a custom format? And can you go above two copies of a card?
Unless there's something specific going on, it's usually best deck building practice to get four copies of each of the cards you most want to use. This makes the deck more reliable and more likely to give you cards you want to play.
For cuts, there's a lot of 3-cost cards here. Blood-Cursed Knight feels too conditional. I would switch Pillory of the Sleepless for more complete removal, since the life drain doesn't do anything a dozen other cards here do as well or better.
How useful is the enchantment subtheme could be made into a separate deck. I already mentioned Blood-Cursed Knight, and I'm not sure Underworld Coinsmith provides enough value for its cost. The Cartouches also could be doing more.
In general, I would focus on either "active" life drain, with lifelink and attacking, or "passive" life drain, with a bunch of triggered and activated abilities and defensive effects. A lot of the cards can go into either version, and it's very possible to make both, but there's a tension in this deck that's pulling between active pressure and passive attrition. Pick the one that's the most fun for you and focus on that.

First of all, this deck is fantastic.
Hrm, Pillory of the Sleepless could work in sideboard if they aren't creature heavy enough to warrant 12 fogs. "Didn't get to sleep last night till the morning came around"
Wall of Omens could help to stabilize, and help you find the Heaven's Gate or Jovial Evil that you just can't seem to draw already. "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls."
If a reasonable budget wasn't the name of the game, I'd recommend Painter's Servant in a heartbeat. "I see a red door..."

Maybe you're already aware, but enchantments like Journey to Nowhere , Oblivion Ring , and Oubliette don't get Killian's discount.
Have you looked at Pillory of the Sleepless ? It seems in the style of this deck.

Splashing in white could give you access to Pillory of the Sleepless , which will just drain opponents over time! Would also give you access to the Black White vampires from Rivals of Ixalan like Forerunner of the Legion , Legion Lieutenant , Adanto Vanguard .
Asylum Visitor is a decent side deck card to have, as is Duress . Siding in Viridian Longbow synergizes really well with all the deathtouch creatures you have, which could help if you're going against something with bigger creatures. Nihil Spellbomb for graveyard hate.
Arterial Flow Seems like it should have a home in this deck too!
Creature recommendations Silversmote Ghoul and Dusk Legion Zealot . Vampire of the Dire Moon would also be an excellent inclusion, but I'm not sure how budget you're aiming to make it
I'm a fan of running Fungal Infection over Viper's kiss, as it either allows you to trade up to two toughness or create more tokens to keep your attacks rolling.
Cuts would probably be to some Nighthaze and Pooling Venom !
Hope those give you some ideas!

I think Phalanx Leader is one of the all-around best Heroic cards if you're looking to go that route. You should certainly run 4 of him.
I also recommended Prison Term recently on another build, and I think it'd suit you better here than Pillory of the Sleepless. I like how with Prison Term you can throw it onto any old critter and just let it sit there until a real threat comes along. Plus, a lot of builds seem to run off activated abilities which Pillory may not save you from.
Just my 2 cents though, nice job either way (I love Orzhov color decks in general) +1

As far as menace creatures go, I like Dreamstealer or Kheru Mind-Eater to deny the opponent of additional creatures. Red is also well known for menace since you gain access to Labyrinth Raptor, Sonorous Howlbonder, and the odd Sin Prodder. It also has a bomb in Master of Cruelties that benefits from a lack of blockers. Silent Arbiter can accomplish a similar goal to your auras when attacking if you don't mind embracing an exalted style, possibly via Sublime Archangel.
Another option could be to embrace the large number of auras with synergetic cards like Eidolon of Countless Battles, Kor Spiritdancer, and Sage's Reverie. Some other Arrest options I like are Pillory of the Sleepless, Prison Term, or the cheap Demotion.

Needs more Nightsky Mimic IMHO. And if you get a couple of those, probably you'd like to change a couple Journey to Nowhere or Syphon Life for Pillory of the Sleepless, and Gift of Orzhova to top you curve. Also you're not playing any source of card advantage, maybe you can take a couple 2 cmc critters out for Night's Whisper, or at least a couple cycling lands, like Barren Moor.
