How Can I Put Bloodthirsty Conqueror Into My Liesa Deck?

WotC shall finally be printing a creature version of Exquisite Blood in foundations, in the form of bloodthirsty conqueror, and I obviously shall be putting that card into my Liesa, Shroud of Dusk deck, but I am not certain what card it should replace, so I wish to ask for advice from the other users here, about that matter.

It would be nice to have redundancy with Exquisite Blood, so I could replace Defiant Bloodlord with the conqueror, as I would still have plenty of cards that replicate the effect of Sanguine Bond, and doing that would also lower the mana curve of that deck, but, on the other hand, the bloodlord is a very nice flying beater, which I can also give lifelink, and Exquisite Blood costs 5 mana to cast, but does nothing on its own, so I also would have no difficulty in replacing it with its creature counterpart, as well, so it is a difficult decision, for me.

What does everyone else say about this subject? How can I put bloodthirsty conqueror into my Liesa deck?

Also, as a side note, why is it that bloodthirsty conqueror has the same mana value as Exquisite Blood, while Defiant Bloodlord is more expensive than is Sanguine Bond?

I also could, theoretically, replace Boon Reflection, since Alhammarret's Archive is strictly better than it.
