The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

This is a B/R vampire control deck that I am thinking about running at an FNM tomorrow, so quick advice would be great so that I can try to fine tune this before tomorrow. Thanks. Also, help with a sideboard would be great.

Get some Bloodline keepers in the main. Bloodline alone= damnit... have to race here. Bloodline in a vampire deck=........ scoop. He's just that good. And for a rare like that to still stay at a price he is shows it.

I have been thinking about how to fit him into the main board, I am just not sure what I want to take out yet? Any suggestions on what to take out for him? Would you think maybe put him in place of the Markov Blademaster? Or maybe the Tragic Slips?
PS: don't expect a big win with this deck. It looks great, B/R vampires from innistrad look fun, good, and all that, but for some reason they just don't cut it at the end. It just kind of sucks because control was given a devastating aggro in this block with delver. But yeah, good build. just remember when you play olivia: drop her when you have 6 mana, you have to get that 1 ping in when she comes out.
I would recommend Vampiric Fury. 1R for all your vampires to get +2/+0 and first strike at instant speed! Aside from that, I'm not a big vampire fan, so I don't really know what else to recommend.
For sideboard 2 ratchet bombs, 2 ancient grudge, 2 black sun, and maybe even a couple geths vedicts. The Deck itself I'd honestly switch out the volt charge for Bloodline, yes it's a nice card in that it proliferates, but honestly the vampires should be able to pump themselves, and as it's been stated Bloodline Keeper is a nasty vampire.
go for the throat ain't that important! tragic slip is good agaist big creatures and you can burn all small creatures. i would but 3x bloodline keeper becose it can easily kill opponent.
Thanks for all the comments and feedback! I took out 2x Markov Blademasrer and 2x Tragic Slip for 4x Bloodline Keeper. Also, the sideboard so far will be 2x Tragic Slip, 2x Black Sun, 2x Slagstorm, 2x Despise, 2x Distress, 1x Ratchet Bomb, 3x Doom Blade. Anymore suggestions for the other 3 spots in the sideboard?
Oh, and I will probably run shatter in the sideboard, not ancient grudge as I eill never be able to flashback ancient.grudge, and shatter is more unexpected.
I went 2-2 with this deck friday, but should have been atleast 3-1 because of a play mistake that ended up costing me game 2 and then also game 3 in the second round. Ocerall the deck performed.really well, will.probably.make a few changes though, probably taking out 2x Curse of stalked prey.
I ran a deck like this, and best I got is 3-2. Secondhn is right, I got hammered by B/W Delver, which actually lost me 1st place in FNM, I play B/W tokens btw, my deck is listed here as well.
I would drop the aristocrats for child of night. A little life link goes a long way in a control deck. Feel free to check the vampire deck i use at my FNM: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=335028 Hope that helps :)
