After the release of Vampire Nocturnus I fell in love with Vampire tribal. Now that Nocturnus has left us in standard and with my recent transition to EDH I felt it was about time I built a Vampire Tribal deck!
I played vamps in standard until Nocturnus rotated out, and ever since I've been trying so hard not to build Vamp EDH, just because I need to focus on my current decks 'til their complete. It's very tempting.
I was also really tempted to want to go with Garza Zol, Plague Queen as commander for the color access. It would give some countermagic control, Blood Tyrant, Cruel Ultimatum, and some other good stuff.
Not saying it would be better or anything, just a different approach. I think Big Mana Black is really good here too.

What's your opinion?
other than that. i think you hit this spot on. i cant think of anything else that would fit this deck and what its trying to do.
Whoops, fixed.
It can be a game-ender with or with out Sanguine Bond. I would cut Drain Life and Peat Bog for them.
Maybe add Grave Pact to go with the Butcher.
Decree of Pain is also another card you could add and maybe Mind's Eye for a little draw power.
UB Grimgrin, Corpse-BornUB
WRG Marath, Will of the Wild GRW
RGOmnath, Locus of RageGR
WBTeysa, Orzhov ScionBW
URThe Locust GodRU
W(W/R)RAkiri, Line-SlingerW(W/R)R
Needs Exsanguinate
And Dark Depths for the Hexmage.
I was also really tempted to want to go with Garza Zol, Plague Queen as commander for the color access. It would give some countermagic control, Blood Tyrant, Cruel Ultimatum, and some other good stuff.
