Not too sure why you have all these humans in here, drop them for 4x Gather the Townsfolk and 2x card:Rakdos's Return

ok, Sorin, Lord of Innistrad he's decent enough, but you have no need for him, i would rather see 2 Oblivion Ring so you can clear stuff out of the way, or remove that annoying tameyo or jacein interest of the curve, i would drop a Bloodline Keeper Flip for another Blood Artist and also i'd say take out the reverberates for Gather the Townsfolk , great to block with, swing with, or feed an aristocrat for the extra push
as far as a sideboard, i would keep the Slaughter Games (great card) add one more Rest in Peace if you want to keep the sorins in, a 3 of Oblivion Ring would be a good idea in the sideboard too, also a 2 or 3 of Appetite for Brains for control hate other board options are Killing Wave which loves artist, Mizzium Mortars could also take that slot if you just want to hit your opponent
outside of that, I really like the deck, been working on a R/W/B myself, so I hope i was of some help

I had considered Doomed Traveler but with all the humans I have for food my champion becomes a threat fast, and he can always be used as food as well,
And the reason I have all the humans in here is firstly because of surprising the opponent, all of the humans do serve purposes as either food, food producing or giving double strike to big threats.
And I had thought about rakdos's return, but I frequently win on between turns 7-9 (depending on if I go first) , it's quite a quick deck, I am semi thinking about adding another aristocrat and maybe cutting the champs for 2x Ash Zealot

Thrandir that is really useful feedback, I think that Reverberate is one of the most useful instants for me at the moment, at my local FNM everyone is running guild charms and there is a lot of green white aggro, so reverberate ruins their existences.
I will definitely consider O-Rings, as you're quite right it would be really useful for me, and another blood artist would be great as well, I find sorin very, very useful, for getting vamps on the field to flip the keeper, or for emblems that just make double strike that much more vicious. I had cut gather the townsfolk a few weeks ago, and my deck actually became that much better because of it, but I'll reassess my choice, and see if I can work it back in, appetite for brains is on my want-list, I am keeping an eye out for it, It will be getting added to my sideboard as soon as I can get it. I'll check out your deck in a sec'

If you want my advice, here it is: Don't mix Human Tribal and Vampire Tribal. You're not going to do either one justice.

I like your deck a lot. I have a vampire deck myself Vampire B/R Final and i really really wanted to add white to it, but i'm waiting for the Gatecrash lands.
Constructive criticism. I feel that Olivia Voldaren and Falkenrath Aristocrat don't work well together in a deck. One is playing to control the board and one is trying to end the game quickly by hammering your opponent. I'd pull one or the other and probably one of the Bloodline Keeper Flip s too. IMHO its best for a deck to do one thing well and i can't tell if its trying to overwhelm with tokens or feed the aristocrat. If you're trying to feed the aristocrats you might be better off pulling out some of the expensive token generators for cheaper humans(Knight of Infamy ). That way there's food ready when the aristocrats hit the board on turn four.
If you want a crazy idea (what i'm waiting on the shock lands to do), try including Seance instead of the token generators. That way you can reuse your dead creatures for the aristocrats later. Paired with Rootborn Defenses i think it would allow you to maintain a creature advantage while feeding the aristocrats.

zandl Thanks for the advice but I will have to disagree, I feel the vampire tribes' full potential needs some humans e.g. for the aristocrat.
jared1259 Yeah gatecrash lands will fix everything, but about olivia, you are completely right, I'll pull the olivias' and add another aristocrat asap, and probably another land too.
Seance is a very interesting idea, especially with the slayers strongholds, I don't think it will be stable enough until gatecrash but I will possibly a couple of copies to my sideboard

Just a thought but perhaps a couple Doomed Traveler s for cheap sac to Falkenrath Aristocrat ?
