Deck discussion for B/R Vampire (Work in Progress)

Loss the Vampire Nocturnus and add Bloodghast. Bloodline Keeper might also be good.

Some tipps and suggestions, based on my B/R vampire deck (http://www.mtgvault.com/muktol/decks/br-tribal-vampire/)
I would remove "Falkenrath Marauders" and maybe "Gatekeeper of Malakir". The Marauders are a little bit expensive to play without ramp, the Gatekeeper could be a problem to play kicked with his tripple {B}
An alternative to "Rakish Heir" could be "Curse of Stalked Prey", depends if you want to have another blocker, or a harder to remove version of the 'gets a +1/+1 counter' effect.
Furthermore I would increase the number of "Crypt Incursion" but sideboard it. You don't encounter a deck which utilizes the graveyard every day, and the lifegain is useless, as this looks like a aggro deck to me.

Some suggestions:
Blade of the Bloodchief ({1}; {1} to equip; whenever a creature is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, put two +1/+1 counter on equipped vampire)
Bloodghast ({B}{B}; 2/1; can't block; landfall: return from graveyard to play), Bloodline Keeper ({2}{B}{B}; 3/3; flying; further effects see card), Guul Draz Assassin ({1}; 1/1; level up, further effects see card)
Sign in Blood ({B}{B}, pay 2 life; draw two cards), Read the Bones ({2}{B}, pay 2 life; scry 2, then draw 2 cards)
Blackcleave Cliffs (dualland), Graven Cairns (dualland)

I hope I was able to give you some ideas
Greetings
Muktol

Thanks for the suggestions. What do you think about taking out gatekeepers and putting in ash zealot?

On the one hand, the Gatekeeper is hard to support (especially with your manabase) as in 99% of the times you want to cast him he needs triple {B}.
On the other hand he benefits from beeing a vampire ("Stromkirk Captain" and "Vampire Nocturnus") and can even remove rexproof or indestructible creatures (when they are alone on the field, otherwise it's your opponents choice)
"Ash Zealot" is a human and doesn't benefit from the vampire buffs. He also works only if someone casts anything from the graveyard (flashback, unearth, and so on) so if this happens rather often in your matches he is at last work sideboarding, if not, stay with the Gatekeeper. If you want to replace him with an aggro creature, I would tend to use "Bloodghast"
