Over all I like this deck. iWould get ride of most of the 4-drop cards as they don't go well with the pace of what you trying to play this deck. From what you mention above seems like this should be an agro deck. Try to make it so that you win by 4 or 5 turn every game.I think this article might prove useful fo guide you on types of decks to build:http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic:_The_Gathering_deck_types

The effects stack, you would get 2 counters for every vampire that did damage to the opposing player, not to those vampires that where blocked or stopped some how from dealing their damage to opposing player. But I mainly included four rakish to increase the possibility of me drawing him early from my deck. BTW I am also new to the game (started this past august) but have had the chance to play over 500 games since, and have refined my gameplay accordingly. This is also my first vampire deck, I'm so glad folks like it! And yeah I can check out your deck.
Thanks folks! @ ThousandEyedWatcher; I don't really like her cause she takes another vamp out of the fight.. I've tried her out not extensively but ended up taking her out for the reason above.
