As you can see it is very tribal heavy, including some less optimal cards that fit the vampire theme. Right now I'm close to considering this list complete... but I will have to wait on a few cards until I have some more money... are there any good replacements for Cabal Coffers, Urborg and Patriarch's Bidding? Those are the only three that will be out of range for a while.
I'd also like some input on my overall 99... mana etc. You're the pros!
I went ahead and bought Coffers and urborg... I cut Kalitas and a few of the more expensive cards that could be substituted with cheaper counterparts. Updated with current lists, including a few more cards from BFZ like Grip of Desolation and Bloodbond Vampire.
I used to run mono-black Anowon Vampire Tribal. However, I really feel like Anowon needs flash to be viable. I've since swapped him out for Drana. Nevertheless, here are some Mono-Vampire tribal thoughts and recommendations:
I recommend a sac-pack. When you're mono-black, sometimes dealing with problematic cards....can be a problem:
I recommend cutting some of the fat. It'll help on your curve and apply good agro against your opponent: Ascendant Evincar - I've had little success with this card. Can help your opponent too. Grave Titan - not really vampire-tribal, but I understand why you put it in. Malakir Cullblade - too vanilla and takes to long to grow.
I don't think there is much more to offer...your deck is already really good....and looks fun to play too. You are welcome to check out my decklist for more ideas...see sig link.

I used to run mono-black Anowon Vampire Tribal. However, I really feel like Anowon needs flash to be viable. I've since swapped him out for Drana. Nevertheless, here are some Mono-Vampire tribal thoughts and recommendations:
I recommend a sac-pack. When you're mono-black, sometimes dealing with problematic cards....can be a problem:
[card]Geth's Verdict[/card
Tribute to Hunger
Barter in Blood
Consuming Vapors
Grave Pact
Also, being in mono-black, artifacts and enchantments can really hurt.
Spine of Ish Sah and Phyrexia's Core, while situational, have really helped me through some games.
I recommend cutting some of the fat. It'll help on your curve and apply good agro against your opponent:
Ascendant Evincar - I've had little success with this card. Can help your opponent too.
Grave Titan - not really vampire-tribal, but I understand why you put it in.
Malakir Cullblade - too vanilla and takes to long to grow.
I don't think there is much more to offer...your deck is already really good....and looks fun to play too. You are welcome to check out my decklist for more ideas...see sig link.

And yes, bloodghast IS a very good vampire... but he was one of the ones I cut in order to afford coffers/urborg. Maybe someday
