I recently purchased a vampire onslaught event deck, and am hoping to use it in local extended tournaments. I don't want to go to these tournaments with just the basic deck, so I was hoping for some suggestions on what I might add. I was hoping to capitalize upon the combo aspects of the deck to create something a little more effective than it is now. Any input would be helpful Since I am new to tournaments, and the extended format in general, I ask that you please explain anything that a casual player wouldn't immediately grasp.
I made use of Viscera Seer and Bloodthrone Vampire's sacrifice abilities and put them to use with Kalastria Highborn followed by a mid-game Living Death for a one-sided board sweep that brings all your baddies back. Pretty fun little twist for vampires. I took the idea from the onslaught-block Goblin Bidding theme and I'm really suprised with how neat it turned out.
I like the idea, I'll have to look at how I want to incorporate it into my deck. I do like the use of Pawn of Ulamog to double the bonus my Bloodthrone Vampire gets. If I could find something to compliment that, then I would be happy.

But then you got kicked out for using a non-Extended deck, right? You do realize that he meant the 2012 Event Deck?

Everyone knows that good luck and good game are such insincere terms that any man who does not connect his right hook with the offender's jaw on the very utterance of such a phrase is no man I would consider as such.
I think I've figured out a way to improve the combo effectiveness of the deck. I've maxed out the number of Bloodghast within the deck and replaced a couple swamps with Terramorphic Expanse to get even more use out of Bloodghast's landfall ability.

I've been doing some test games with my friends, and I've been finding that Blade of the Bloodchief is amazing when equipped to to bloodthrone vampire. If you play bloodghast with a pawn of ulamog on the field along with the above combo, before playing terramorphic expanse, you can have Bloodthrone Vampire swinging for 25. Talk about an epic finish

Just throwing this out there, its a bit slow but definitely fits the bill for finishing with sac engines and highborn, Grave Pact. Sac ghasts, in turn forcing them to sac, and resulting in damage pings from highborn with the added bonus of gaining two life each time, play a land = win.
Don't see how you could go wrong.

I like to protect frightened things perhaps. I assembled them in the fortress of beefitude for safety.
Sorry, but Grave Pact isn't legal in extended. I could use it in modern with my deck, but alas the plan is to use it in extended tournaments. On the other hand I do like the mana economy of Tendrils of Corruption as compared to Corrupt, but the Vampire Nocturnus is a little expensive at this point in the decks development. I'm glad everyone is coming up with something a little different though!

Thank you for your contribution anyway For future suggestions, I am a fan of combo-style decks. I like the one combo in this deck, but I feel there are others that are a little more hidden within the deck.

Evil Presence vs. land based strategies like 12 post, Valakut etc.
Vendetta vs. control decks to get the last push of damage through
Vampire Hexmage vs. 'Walkers and quests
Vampire Nighthawk vs. aggro/midrange to keep your life up and take out threats you can't otherwise handle.
