Back when I started playing, I wanted to make a Black/Red Vampire deck (solely because the idea of it intrigued me); but I quickly dropped the idea for a burn deck (Which I still use and edit savagely every week). Now that I know more about the game and the cards, I revisited the idea and this is what I came up with.

Vexing Devil's are a great first-turn, seeing as right off the bat I've either burned the opponent for 4 or I have a 4/3 on my field on the first turn.

Ash Zealot can either come in second turn for a Hasted first-strike, or I can use her later on to buff my Falkenrath Aristocrat .

Basic strategies include Blood Artist+ Falkenrath Aristocrat for life-steal and Blood Artist+Bloodthrone Vampire for a quick burn and pump.

With Lord of Lineage   pumping all of my vampires with +2/+2 and him and Sorin, Lord of Innistrad giving me Vampire tokens, I can get really big, really fast. Another thing that should be noted is that Sorin, Lord of Innistrad can destroy creatures and put them back on the field under my control; Pair that up with Blood Artist and you've got removal+burn.

Disciple of Bolas fits nicely in here when paired up with Blood Artist. As he enters the field, I can sac something fairly big for some lifegain and draw, while using blood artist to deal some damage. It would be fun to see if I could build up a Bloodthrone Vampire and sac it with Disciple of Bolas to get a ton of health and cards, while also having at least a couple Blood Artists out.

As for the sideboard: I've got Mutilate and Mizzium Mortars to help me with Token decks; Grafdigger's Cage to bust out of Flashback and Scavenge decks; Dreadbore in case I come across any problematic Planeswalkers; and the obvious Slaughter Games for everything else.

Let me know what you guys think, because any suggestions are greatly appreciated. And thanks for looking.
