Me too. And as soon as I get 3 more, I'll put them in...

Put 4x Stromkirk Noble. With 4x Rakish Heir, Undying Evil don't make much sense because because your vampires will get +1/+1 counters and you will not be able to use undying. Take a look at my R/B vampire deck deck:vampiric-revenge to take away some ideas.

I hadn't thought about the +1/+1 working against the Undying... I'll pull those out. I only have 1 Stromkirk Noble So those will be going in as soon as I get a few more. So I need 4x Stromkirk Captains and 4x Stromkirk Nobles. Anything else?

it is amazing add a way to place more and more vampires that can easily become 4/4 flyers (+2/+2 to other vampires when flip).In my opinion all removals that I'm using in my deck are better than Assassinate. Assassinate is more expensive, sorcery and not instant, and even the creature must be tapped so you can destroy it. So Doom Blade or Go for the Throat are better options.

Doom Blade!!! All I could think of was Dark Banishing And I knew that wasn't legal anymore... Thank you!

This deck took 4th at FNM last night. I know I need 3x more Stromkirk Nobles, I just can't afford them just now. Any other thoughts or suggestions?

dude, falkenrath marauders is really good for a vampire. and you should have like one falkenrath aristocrat just for sits and giggles.

I ran both, but found they slowed down the game. I like them, but if I don't hit the ground running I lose momentum.

Blood Artist over Falkenrath Noble? And with a name like Blood Flows Like Wine, look at Thatcher Revolt + Bloodflow Connoisseur (the humans sac regardless, so you guarantee the Conny gets buff). I run that in my FNM deck (deck:rb-bram-stoker-breakthrough. It's super effective.
Also, if you have the Stromkirk Captain in play, your vamps already have first strike. The +2/+0 from Vampiric Furyis nice, but it only lasts until EoT. For 1 more you could use Volt Charge until it cycles to perma give everything with counters +1/+1, with the added bonus of blasting a dude or zapping the player. Furthermore, if you used the Clutches(I -love- that card), most vamps are guaranteed to have a counter!
Check it out :D +1 for vamps in today's meta.

Rakish Heir is a great card but if you want the ability, i would switch it out for Curse of Stalked Prey. it will help with your mana curve too.
and maybe take 2 Disentomb from your sideboard and replace it with 2 Undying Evil which works at instant speed and goes directly into the battlefield with a counter (for those creatures you do not gain counters on).
have fun with this deck! +1

Maybe, Blood Artist instead of Falkenrath Noble for better aggro.
