Deck Description

Based around self-sacrificing and returning from the dead, the main strategy is to equip a vampire (mainly Falkenrath Exterminator) with Blade of the Bloodchief. The next step would be getting Sheoldred, Butcher, and Lifeline onto the field.

"Based around self-sacrificing and returning from the dead, the main strategy is to equip a vampire (mainly Falkenrath Exterminator) with Blade of the Bloodchief."
OK.

"The next step would be getting Sheoldred, Butcher, and Lifeline onto the field."
Nah ... they both cost 7 mana and you only run 18 lands plus 3 Dark Rituals ... Also, at point you can play them you probably don't need neither of those anymore.

1) The rest of the deck is compareably cheap, so I would replace both Sheoldred and Butcher with cheaper finishers. Anowon the Ruin Sage is very close to what the other two do but cheaper. Bloodlord of Vaasgoth and Malakir Bloodwitch are also possible contenders.

2) Now that we don't have to support 7-mana creatures anymore we can probably ditch the Dark Rituals, too. Most of the cards left cost only one or 2 mana. But for a deck that wants to sacrific creatures a lot it runs surprisingly few creatures. And it is missing one of the best creatures out there for this deck: Falkenrath Noble! It's even a vampire!

3) Next would be the Raise Deads and Disentombs. It's not exactly efficient to use those to get back Fume Spitters and Mogg Fanatics ... and for the other key creatures you probably don't need 6 of these effects. Luckily, there are TONS of alternatives:
- Death's Duet, Morbid Plunder: gets 2 for 3 mana
- Disturbed Burial: Has the option to buyback
- Reaping the Graves: Has storm
- No Rest for the Wicked: Huge potential to get more than one back (but must be played before the creatures die)
- Death Denied: Gets back X creatures
- Grim Harvest: Has recover
- Recover: Cantrips
- Stir the Grave: Get X creatures back INTO PLAY but has a limitation

4) You probably don't need to replace all 6 RaiseDead/Disentombs in step 3 - if you get 4 in any combination of the ones I suggested you should have enough reanimation going. This leaves us with two open slots. Usually I would recommend to add something like Nevinyrral's Disk because you have tons of ways to deal with creatures but can't handle anything else. But I also know that a lot of you guys just don't care and rather have more creatures, creature killers or burn, most likely because your friend's decks are all pure creature decks as well. Add Blood Artist in that case.
