Cute deck, but there are some major fixes you could make to make the deck better. For example, you have Killing Glare in the deck when Murder is strictly better. You're using Pacifism even though everyone is playing Restoration Angel. You're using Crypt Ghast yet you only have 8 swamps in your deck. You have no card drawing or tutor effects to search out your combo pieces, and nothing to protect them while they're in play. Instead of going half-white, why not just make mono-black control, with the Vizkopa combo as your win condition, and Griselbrand as a secondary win-con to go with Crypt Ghast.

4 Vizkopa Guildmage
2 Exquisite Blood
2 Increasing Ambition
4 Vampire Nighthawk
3 Murder
4 Victim of Night
3 Ultimate Price
4 Crypt Ghast
3 Griselbrand
4 Mutilate
2 Faith's Shield
17 Swamp
4 Isolated Chapel
4 Godless Shrine

2 Increasing Ambition allow us to not have to max out Exquisite Blood, which are redundant if drawn in multiples, and gives more flexibility to search for other cards when the situation demands. Murder, Victim of Night, and Ultimate Price is your removal trifecta, with Mutilates to wipe the board. Vampire Nighthawk, Cryptghast and Griselbrand provide the lifegain to start the combo, while all being fine cards on their own. Griselbrand and Vizkopa Guildmage also combo well together, allowing you to deal an additional 7 damage to the opponent whenever Griselbrand deals damage to anything. 2 Faith's Shield help you protect your combo pieces from removal, including Exquisite Blood. I recommend having some more in the sideboard for when they bring in their enchantment removal.
