Making a cool vampire deck for standard. I need combo ideas so if any of you have any please post them below and I will look into them. Thanks. Please comment. 7/24/12 So far I have played this deck at 2 FNM's so far. The first tourn that I ran it I went 2-2 before having to leave before the fifth round. I either won or lost each round 2-0. The deck ran really slow during the rounds that I lost and I drew the perfect mana during the rounds that I won. I was pretty happy for the night so I did a bit of editing for the next weekend. Well, I didn't win a single game, let alone a round last Friday. I realized I had made some horrible last minute pre-tournament changes that didn't end up fairing well for me. Their is another guy running a B/R Vamps deck similar to mine ad he went 4-1 both weekends. That leaves my losses to either miss play or bad sideboarding. I believe it is both so I have made a major revamping (haha pun) for this coming FNM. Two of my friends are coming over all day Friday to play test and make our FNM decisions. I hope the new and improved deck will perform better and we shall see. Removed---- 3 Rakish Heir 2 Curse of Misfortunes 1 Curse of Bloodletting 1 Sorin's Vengeance 1 Doom Blade Sideboarded---- 3 Falkenrath Marauder (I feel like if I need faster game play I will have it replace Bloodlord of Vaasgoth) 1 Stormkirk Captain ( I feel like Fervor will be a better 3 drop card for the spot of one creature) 1 Curse of Bloodletting (If I seem to get Sorin's Vengeance out frquently via Liliana of the Dark Realms then I will have it replace Warstorm Surge or one Exquisite Blood) 2 Go for the Throat (Murder is a better option, sideboarded if I need more removal) 2 Doom Blade (Same as Go for the Throat) 2 Fling (If I frequently get their life low and I have big vampires entering the battlefield via Bloodlord's ability then I might swap this in for a Sorin's Thirst if I don't need so many removal) 1 Dark Impostor (meant for late game saves if one of my creatures is being targeted by something that could kill it and if I have the open mana he jjst gets bigger) 2 Diabolic Tutor (Slow card, Liliana is doing her job and I seem to not get the right cards I would throw one orn two in) Added---- 1 Stormkirk Noble (He is fast and an overall great turn one or two 1 drop) 1 Ring of Xathrid (It seems to be helping out a lot with other peoples B/R Vamp decks and I pulled one from a booster pack) 3 Sorin's Thirst (Deal damage and gain two life?? Of course) 2 Vampire Nighthawk (it was suggested and has done me wonders) 1 Adaptive Automaton (Love this card, I had traded it away awhile ago and had to trade for it back for this deck) 2 Murder (Any creature for one more mana than Go for the Throat and Doom Blade with no limitations other than hexproof and shroud) 1 Liliana of the Dark Realms (Pulled her from a booster pack last week and had to add her, easier to cast Sorin's Vengeance and Sheoldred) 1 Vampire Nocturnus (my friend pulled it out of a pack and I instantly traded for it) 2 Fervor (Traded for one and pulled one, why not throw it in?) 1 Warstorm Surge (Late game changer with Bloodlords ability) 1 Sheoldred, Whispering One (Big creature which hurts my opponent and helps me each turn)

Ok, bear with me cause this is going to be long: 1) Diabolic tutor is very slow, you should probably just use sign in blood and draw two instead of searching your deck. 2) You should try to cut down on the curses. I know they all seem good, but just think to yourself "if i were topdecking, is that card going to help me?" 3) Vampire Nighthawk, he'll be legal in a week or two, definitely worth it. 4) Go for the Throat is more reliable than doom blade 5) You would have to cut down the red cards A LOT, but Vampire Nocturnus is a really good card to have 6) I would drop bloodlord of vaasgoth, seems very good but he's pretty slow 7) Olivia Voldaren could help, four mana 3/3 flying with pretty solid abilities 8) Dual lands will help you a lot, if you have money, look into cavern of souls 9) I would just drop sorin's vengeance. another card that seems really good, but is just too slow to be worth it. You may want to try arc trail or pillar of flames, more versatile and they can still damage your opponent. 10) If you still want red, bloodcrazed neonate is a good low-mana creature to have, take out a couple marauders for it. 11) Overall the deck seems to have potential, but it is very slow. As far as combos go, you could use bone splinters (sac a creature to kill target creature) with undying evil so your guy comes back stronger. A combo i use in my vampire deck is fume spitter (not a vampire, unfortunately) and tragic slip: fume spitter sacrifices to weaken/ kill something and morbid is activated on tragic slip to kill something big. I hope this helps, sorry for the long post. If you have any questions about suggestions ive made, you can check out my vampire deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=335028

There's a lot of things that could be taken out to make this a little faster. Maybe check out my vampire deck for some ideas: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=366774
i agree with what raginggoblin said. those changes he suggested will deff help the deck out. now there is murder to be included into the card pool.
I will switch olivia in for bloodlord but that wont happen till i get her. i did significantly cut down the red cards, just running stalked prey for my curse, it has helped out alot especially with a stormkirk noble turn one and stalked prey turn two. humans are quite popular right now. i want to keep one diabolic tutor in and i might bring in sorin markov since i have two just laying around right now. sorins vengeance will be good with markov especially if i have liliana getting swamps every turn. ive got two nighthawks in and i prefer murder than anything else.
Here are 3 Different standard vampire decks that go in 3 directions. Might give you some ideas on how you want yours to run. All round. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=284883 Black splash red. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=351792 +1 counter control. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=364022
Great deck examples, I really like your counter control and the m13 pro deck. I will look into buying some cards for a conversion of my deck.
I'd use Murder instead of Doom Blade for the simple reason Doom Blade targets none black creatures,but what happens if you're playing against a black deck? Murder can target any color
