Another good red vamp to consider is Heirs of Stromkirk instead of Invisible Stalker . Intimidate is still a good way to get through, and it is still affected by Rakish Heir and is a vampire after all. Also consider adding more counter-spells instead of bounces.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to keep Unsummon for now, but i'll probably move it into the sideboard when i find something i like more.

What about Volt Charge ? Gets you some removal and you can proliferate all your vampires to make them bigger.

A very interesting deck, since most control decks... well.. the vampires they use are usually Olivia Voldaren or maybe even Falkenrath Aristocrat .
From what i gather, its your intention to get a few creatures out early, then prevent the enemy from doing anything to stop those few creatures the rest of them game? It seems pretty cool, but must decks that take this route usually have creatures with hexproof Geist of Saint Traft or Invisible Stalker . I see the goal, but its not always easy to protect all of your pets.
I am really really intrigued by the whole Artful Dodge and damage ability that the red vampires have. Nets you the counters, and they become stronger to avoid traiding creature for creature. Using Artful Dodge on a Markov Blademaster with either a Curse of Stalked Prey or Rakish Heir allow her to hit for... 1dmg first strike, gain two counters, 3dmg from regular combat, gain two more counters. Shes now a 5/5 thats going to hit for 12 next turn. 5, and then 7. Possibly more depending on the cards.
I see that you have mizzium skin in your sideboard, and i was about to suggest it. I really enjoy the janky flavor here, and i really think you stumbled upon a new little treat. Well done :)

Invisible Stalker + Curse of Stalked Prey > any of these creatures + Curse of Stalked Prey .

My only advice is that if youre counting on creatures to win, you need more than just 10.

Some sideboard cards: Mental Misstep, Dismember, Apostle's Blessing, and I would also recommend adding more creatures. maybe 4x blademaster, 4x rakish heir -2 curse of stalked prey? Pillar of Flame is also a good sideboard card against undying, or graveyard activated abilities.
