Deck discussion for vampire

To get down to 60 cards, I suggest pitching the four Piranha marsh.

Disfigure would be a great swap-in. It eats Steppe Lynx during the upkeep, it eats Bloodbraid Elf at instant speed, it kills Pridemage, and it helps ensure the opponent only has one creature out when you finally cast Gatekeeper, and it helps ensure that your creatures win trades -- mid-game, the -2 to power in -2/-2 allows for a variety of tempo-swinging surprise tactics that a -0/-2 wouldn't. Even given the "sack and bring it back" theme of your deck, I'd run Disfigures instead of Bone Splinters.

You might consider running a Vampire Nighthawk, maybe two. Since you won't want to draw more than two Ascensions in a game (they're too slow for a late-game drop for this deck, or any deck really), you could replace one of each with Nighthawks. Nighthawk is an immediate threat, especially as a flier, and it buys you time to put your Aristocrat-Highborn engine together. It also ups the Vampire count.

Given how many creatures you want to put in your graveyard, you might consider running one Quest for the Gravelord. It could drop a 5/5 on the table for you, in one turn (once your engine is running), for practically zero cost.

Don't forget a Hexmage or two in the sideboard, especially since there's only 12 cards boarded currently.
