Just made this out of an idea, but thinking about making the actual deck. How does it look? Love Bites

I've been doing well with: deck:preying-death for a few months
I just built: The Blood Queen and am enjoying it.

Honestly, I think black red zombies is what you want to play. What made Zendikar vamps so good has been given to the Innistrad zombies; i.e. Bloodghast brought longevity, which is what Gravecrawler brings, and Kalastria Highborn brought a consistant life-sucking with Viscera Seer, and that's what Geralf's Messenger and Mortarpod have. Plus spells like Brimstone Volley and Incinerate means you have a great reach.

I've been wanting a good vamp deck for awhile now, but I've found they just are not that good in the current meta. Of course this would depend on your local meta and how competitive you want this deck to be. In any case, here are some ideas.
Bloodcrazed vamp is crap. Having to swing constricts overall strategy. I would run bloodseeker instead.
The curse is also a "Meh" card. At best, its a card that just makes you win a match you would have already won faster. At worst, its a dead draw and useless against creature removal decks. I would at least drop to 2, if not all.
You need more removal imo to ensure your creatures actually hit. Consider 4 tragic slips. 2 altars reap wouldn't be a bad idea either. Sack your own vamp token from bloodline for two cards.
