I would still put more lands, although you may be able to get away with 22...i think its better to have 24 just because I HATE getting mana screwed. Also, I do not think Murder is better than Go For the Throat and I would still run that. There is also no reason whatsoever to not run a 4th Falkenrath Noble so add that. I do not know why you don't have Vampire Nocturnus either but I suppose thats optional.

Likes: Blood seeker is nice and players rarely waste removal on him unless they are playing B/W Tokens or some other token deck. You have the correct number of BL Keepers and Olivia's so GJ there. I personally like to use Adaptive Automatons instead of Rakish Heir because he is easier to cast in a multi-color deck, but since you are using volt charges to proliferate it does make sense and I see what you are going for. Dislikes: Everything else looks good except Curse of Stalked Prey. As tempting as it sounds to buff your creatures, it actually slows down your tempo. You really wanna use turn one and 2 especially to put immediate pressure on your opponents so they have to react to what you are doing. Speaking of pressure, you really do need more 1 and 2 CMC creatures. They give you a better early game, and they can help flip BL Keeper later during the mid game. Suggestions: Take out both Curse of Stalked Preys for two Stromkirk Nobles (thats a card you really want 4 of). Also take out both Swords for Vampire Interlopers or Child of Nights. I know it's a flashy card but simple things like Child of Nights can really help you set up the win. They may not be as cool or fun but they are just as important to winning. I would also take out rakish heirs for Vampire Interlopers but thats just me (not really as crucial of a suggestion as some of the others). Question: If you do end up insisting on keeping Swords in your deck, why not put Sword of War and Peace in the main board instead of Feast and Famine?
Me personally, I would still rather have make all my other creatures stronger. Or if you really wanted more morbid AND creature buffing you could just put more Sorin's in there. IDK, just never cared for Thraben Doomsayer too much.
like the skirsdag high priest, don't like the Doomsayer. IMO, it's not worth three slots in your deck JUST to give ONE creature a +1/+1. I would take it out for some O-Rings. Since you have plenty of creatures + DOJ+ tragic slip to get rid of creatures, you need a versatile card like O-Rings to get rid of other stuff that may annoy you. If you insist on staying that creature heavy though, I would recommend Adaptive Automaton. It gives ALL your creatures +1/+1 AND it's colorless so it's easier to cast, especially in a three color deck.
update, removed both Fogs for two Hero of Bladeholds. Card is nasty in this deck and helps me put more pressure on my opponent.
Trying to assemble it right now, even though it's going to be a budget build since I can't afford to acquire 4 Huntsmasters right now (maybe slowly over a month long period) but I'll let you know how it goes.
I have to say I was thinking the same thing. Currently I don't have a single Huntsmaster so the thought of acquiring four makes me want to cry. I thought maybe throwing in two Thrun's and 2 of the Mondronen Shamans would be a good replacement. Granted, will not be as good as Huntsmaster, but they can still get the job done. I do like the shaman better in this deck though. BTW nice work
Yipes I didn't realize that Increasing Devotion makes Humans and no Soldiers. Will try to see what I can take out for Champions.
@sk4v3nq3r As for your first comment, they can help buy me time if I'm having trouble getting Parallel Lives out or it helps set up the Overrun win my next turn if they all out swing. As for your second comment, I rly like the idea of putting Champion of the Parish in there, but with only having 3 cards that make humans I don't think it will be strong enough to make the deck. Maybe a sideboard choice. Appreciate the input.
The deck isn't exactly finished yet. I still need to acquire the combo lands.
Nice deck. Can't really give any criticism. For what you're trying to do, you have pretty much made the right choices. Only thing is you have three artifacts...so why not make those shocks into Galvanic Blasts for the chance to deal 4 damage?
Looks pretty sweet. One card I would recommend adding is Stonehorn Dignitary. Let Venser bounce him and your opponent will never get an attack phase for the rest of the game until they can find a way to deal with Venser. One of my friends uses that and it makes me wanna kill him! If it were up to me I'd take out 2 Day of Judgements for that. For me, three board wipes is too much but IDK your deck as well as you do so take everything I say with a grain of salt =P. Looks good to me though. +1
Increasing Vengeance only copies spells YOU control so that won't work. Reverberate would be an awesome idea though.
Never really cared for Falkenrath Marauders. Too weak initially for a 3RR cost creature and you bank on him being able to tick a player 1st turn. I would drop all four of them for some cheaper vamps so you can get some more speed. If you're also running 4 Rakish Heirs, some Bloodcrazed Neonates might not be a bad idea. Also, with 4 Bloodline Keepers, I like to use Vampire Interlopers because when the Keeper flips you have lots of strong flyers instead of ground pounders. I think I need to use them more in my deck as well =P. Just some thoughts. Things I like: the splash green for Deadly Allure. Nice use of combo lands to get more out of the same cards. Also dig the Inferno Titan. GJ Link to my vampire deck http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=299636
