I play mostly alone. 1 vs 1. Sometimes 1 vs 1 vs 1.

If it was my deck, I would do the following changes
Sideboard "Blood Tyrant"...very expensive and only good when playing against more opponents.
"Gatekeeper of Malakir" depends if you are able to pay the kicker costs. If yes, I would add some more, If not, remove him.
Remove "Nirkana Cutthroat" and add 2 more "Vampire Nighthawk"...cc6 for a 4/3 deathtouch seems rather expensive
If you want an alternative to "Rakish Heir" take a look at "Curse of Stalked Prey". It's an enchantment and thus harder to remove, but you loose a possible blocker.
Remove "Szadek, Lord of Secrets"...It's the only mill card you have
Remove "Wall of Bone"...to expensive to protect you in early stages of the game.
With the free slots I would add another "Garza Zol, Plague Queen", take a look at "Bloodghast" and especialy "Bloodlord of Vaasgoth"

Remove "Vampiric Fury"...you want to win with y big creature, and use the small ones to defend yourself against your opponent. You could take a look at "Blade of the Bloodchief" which might suite better to this strategy.
Remove "Blood Tribute" in favour of 2 more "Blightning"
"Cruel Ultimatum" has hard to pay mana-costs, if you are able to pay them, it's OK, if not, remove
"Feast of Blood"...if you can play it, it's good, but remember that your opponent might have enough removal-spells in his deck. Alternatives could be "Terminate", "Doom Blade", "Go for the Throat", "Murder", "Dreadbore"
"Ghostform"...like Vampiric Fury I would remove it to give you more space for defensive spells
Sideboard "Slave of Bolas"... only good when going after decks with big creatures.

You need to do something about your mana-base as I don't think you will have the right mana-color when you need it with nearly only standard-lands. The number of lands is OK, but I would add some dualllands and some searchlands.
I would also think of something which gives me some carddraw, as cardadvantage is something very important for a controldeck

Suggestions for some control-spells:
Duress, Extirpate, Surgical Extraction, Ghost Quarter, Archive Trap

Thanks for the advice. It looks like I should replace most of the cards. I think I'll try to do something from your advices in the future and we'll see :)
