Ok so i wanted to toss together a vampire deck for games at the local shop and yes i know there are a bunch of other decks in legacy that are better than vamps but i really dont like following the crowd. So this is no where near done or even close for that matter the cards i am listing here are pretty much what i have had around so im still working on getting the cards i need and replaceing things. So here is the list please let me know what cards to toss and what ones to get so i can get the deck going in the right direction. Creatures 4x Stromkirk Captain  2x Kalastria Highborn  3x Vampire Nighthawk  3x Heirs of Stromkirk  2x Vampire Outcasts  2x Malakir Bloodwitch  2x Markov Patrician  1x Mirri the Cursed  1x Stromkirk Noble  1x Vampire Nocturnus  1x Rakish Heir  Other spells 2x 2x Doom Blade  2x Lightning Bolt  4x Bump in the Night  2x Brimstone Volley  2x Searing Spear  2x Thunderbolt  Note that i am taking nocturnus out being that sense this is not mono black not much of a point So the concept is pretty clear with this one. Imo i need a few more 1 drop nobles and some Terminate  and then probly 2 more lightning bolts. An i was thinking on the combo of Dark Depths  and Vampire Hexmage  its a little pricey but i think it be cool. so thats what i got so far again i know it needs work so if anyone have suggestions let me know and i am also looking for suggestions on what cards to have around my sideboard as well.

Personally I think the mono black version would be better. However if you're set on using the R/B version of the decklist I think the main advantage of this version is the addition of stromkirk noble  because there aren't a ton of good options at 1 CMC vampires. I would go with a super aggressive list. 1cmc 4 - stromkirk noble 4 - vampire lacerator  4 - bump in the night  4 - lightning bolt  2cmc 4 - bloodghast  4 - gatekeeper of malakir  4 - ruthless cullblade  3cmc 2 - bloodrage vampire  2 - captivating vampire  4 - stromkirk captain  Maybe remove a couple of the 3 drops for some cheap removal spells such as terminate  , dreadbore  or urge to feed  or whatever the flavor of the month removal spell might be. I think I'd rather have mono black with vampire nocturnus  topping out the mana curve but lightning bolt is super good so this might be even better.
Don't be too smart to have fun

thanks for the input and yes there are indeed not many 1 drops i can go for other than the noble which is one reason i went and put the Lightning Bolt and Bump in the Night . I also do like captivating vampire but i feel as if by the time i have enough vamps to tap safely without opening my self up, i should of killed the oppnent anyway, I def agree with me getting some more removal in here. Another potential win combo i was looking at was Blood Tribute  and Sanguine Bond  however idk how effective it would be in the long run.

depends how competitive your local meta is. At competitive level legacy decks tend to be U/x agro control, so the chance of you getting a slow combo like that running, especially w no counterspells to protect it, is minimal. Incidentally that is also why the superagro version is preferable - unless you mix in some cavern of souls  and mby even expedition map
