Questions and Answers:
Why the removal of Blood Baron to Rhox?
First the lower cost of Rhox. Second the value of Rhox is also more tangible and immediately provides benefit in the form of two fold synergy with all other cards. Rather than conditionally with the Blood Baron. To get the juice out of him you have to be above 30 with your opponent below 10. at that point your winning / going to win with this deck anyway. Its far more valuable to just gain double life off the spirit linking.

Play Testing of Version 18 Revealed:
18 is highly effective, Keeps good pace with Stag-Tusk Sylensia Populate. Turn 5 Griselbrand every time. Turn 6 Obzedat every time. Lost 1 game. 4-1

I would have to say the most important thing in this deck is to focus on what you need to do.

Stabilizers are Tragic Slip, Tribute to Hunger, Sign in Blood and Liliana OTDR for her targeted mutilate. These will feed you in loss of life prevention, life gain and card advantage. Do not be afraid to cast multiple Sign in Blood on a single turn if need be. Get the cards in your hand and you can easily recover the loss of life from Sign in Blood.

How to Play

Perfect Play:
turn 1 Godless Shrine / Isolated Chapel
Turn 2 Swamp , Tithe Drinker / Blind Obedience
Turn 3 Land, Vampire Nighthawk
Turn 4 Land, Crypt Ghast
Turn 5 Land, Griselbrand
Turn 6 Land, Obzedat
Turn 7 Land, Debt to the Deathless (for 10 in a 14 mana pool) 2w 2b +10 = 20 Damage.
