@Spacebeest I could certainly try it, but the flexibility of flashing in non creature cards or a combo piece at the right moment has made for some really fun games. You haven't truly lived until you've cast Austere Command at instant speed in Mardu.
I've really enjoyed playing this list, with a few changes:
Dolmen Gate / Cover of Darkness for Vedalken Orrery
My meta is boardwipe heavy and I've found I have a greater impact when I can dump a bunch of vampires the endstep before my turn. It's unfortunate to spend four mana and pass but avoiding being seen as the threat until I'm ready to do some real damage has worked for me.
Minions' Murmurs for Champion of Dusk
For one extra mana I get a 4/4 and a 1/1 and it works on an empty board. I only run three non vampire creatures (not including the gods) so the creatures/vampires distinction rarely makes a difference.

Serra Ascendant & Stromkirk Condemned for
Oathsworn Vampire & Phyrexian Altar
My playground punishes me severely for playing a 6/6 flying lifelinker early but they are good sports about my aristrocrat/Oathsworn Vampire/Phyrexian Altar combo. Go figure.
