Deck discussion for Frost Bite

I'm not really a vampire player but I see only one spell where you profit from all the vampires, aren't there any other good vampire spells to have a greater synergy effect?
I'm not a real fan of leveler creatures, why not replace it with a strong vampire with a better ability.

You may have missed quite a bit. I've tried to make a very balanced and quite synergetic deck. The vampires Ive chosen have synergy with the spells which are the primary strategy for this discard control deck.
Artifacts
2x Scepter of Fugue: Permanent Discard control
Creatures
3x Gatekeeper of Malakir: Kicker for creature kill to mop up creatures that get past the card control
3x Vampire Hexmage: Used to trigger Marit Lage turn 3.
3x Bloodhusk Ritualist: kicker for discard control
3x Guul Draz Assassin: This is a cheep to level permanent creature killer for added mop up
3x Sangromancer: Life gain thats based on synergy with discarding and creature killing. This deck does both.
Enchantments
2x Quest for the Nihil Stone: Cheep quest synergetic with discard. Everyone thats every made a discard deck knows that unless your forcing your opponent to draw, it comes down to them playing the card they draw each turn. This deck only uses 3 cards that force draw so this card gives me a back up way to cause 5 life lose if this happens.
2x Liliana's Caress: Cheep Megrim. Synergetic with discard causing life lose ftw.
Land
2x Dark Depths: Synergetic with Hexmage for the turn 3 Marit Lage. Cheep fast awesome combo. Ftw
16x Snow-Covered Swamp: Themes well with deck name and Marit Lage.
Planeswalkers
1x Liliana Vess: Permanent discard control. Permanent tutor. Synergetic with creature kill.
Spells
4x Funeral Charm: Cheep card with alot of options and extra options in any situation gives you better odds to win. This I believe is the only instant speed discard in the game. A pump up option for creature cheep shots, and swampwalk. Swampwalk can be a real blessing when two black decks go head to head.
4x Vampiric Tutor: Theme card and a very good cheep tutor to pull cards to combo like hexmage and Dark Depths, or just something situational.
3x Feast of Blood: Creature kill and lifegain on the cheep thats synergetic with vampires.
3x Inquisition of Kozilek: Cheep discard control. Easy way to kill an opponents combos before they hit the board.
3x Sign in Blood: Cheep force draw for more discard and life loss. And you could always take the life hit for the card draw since this deck has lifegain to balance it.
3x Distress: Discard control. Although I may replace these with Blackmail.
To me this all combines together very well for a balanced array of the best abilities that black has to offer: Control, Creature kill, Lifedrain(gain/loss), and Tutoring. Its a cheep cmc deck and gives you tons of situation options. The snowy vampire cult of Marit Lage theme is fun too and I like the name. I hope this sheds some light on at least my reasoning if you still disagree on the synergy. Thanks for the view and post. I do need to look at the newer sets to make sure I'm not missing better card options for main deck and I need to finish the sideboard.
