Deck discussion for Bond, Blood Bond

Hi :)

I assume, this deck is build for fun, and not meant to be competetiv :D
Nevertheless, since I like vampire tribal and the life-gain/-drain mechanic, I'd like to make some suggestions.

You can substitute sanguine bond with vito, thorn of the duskrose (or play both). The combo still works with vito ;)
You can play sovereigns bite instead of blood tithe. As long as you play a 1v1, sovereigns bite should be your card of choice.

Stab wound may be an alternative to contaminated bond. It costs one mana more, but in exchange there is no condition on the life loss (and you weaken the opponents creature). It's not strictly better (both are kinda bad :D), it's just an alternative to consider.

I believe there are many (money-efficient) alternatives to blood burglar, too.
To make more use of blood artist, you need to be able to recycle a creature. The usual combo would be viscera seer (sac-outlet) and bloodghast (comes back to the battlefield every time you play a land). Instead of bloodghast you can play a cheaper (and sadly strictly worse in power-lvl) vampire: Oathsworn vampire! (you may cast him if you have gained life ;)

To go above and beyond with the sacrifice combo, you can play pawn of ulamog. He provides additional sacrifice targets that trigger blood artist, or provide the mana needed to cast your enchantment for your finishing combo.

Personally I would trim your high cmc cards drastically. Like having 2 exquisite blood and 2 sanguine bond (vito, thorn of duskrose) should suffice. Bloodbond vampire and bloodthirsty aeralist fill the same slot in case of functionality. You can cut some of them too ;)

Finally, one of my favourite cards: sign in blood. Draw to cards, loose 2 life. It fills up your hand if needed, or initiates your winning combo, since you can target your opponent aswell.

Dude, great feedback. I appreciate it and will review all the cards mentioned. Initially this deck was thought of based on the combo of Exquisite Blood and Sanguine Bond, once triggered = game over. But, as soon as I thought of the name Bond, Blood Bond I sought out cards with either of those words in the name. I almost exclusively build for fun, but with a few of your suggestions it may become a bit more competitive. Thanks for the comment!
