Consider adding in a few Bloodbraid Elf because you can drop most of the cards in your deck off of it. Not sure what to take out though. The only thing I can think of is Admonition Angel, but that fits in fine so..
I know it can use some work if anyone has any input. I could really use advice on lands.
Please bear with me, as I just got back into the game. Havent played since the Time Spiral Block
4 Lightning Bolt, trust me, you'll want them.
Terminate and Doom Blade both get stuffed by pro black, I'd stick with one and sideboard something else in.. that's just me and knowing my meta though Nyxathid is godlike at times! They drop something to burn it, but once they drop that card it gets stronger on the stack.. it's just an evil card really.
I've changed my deck entirely and I'll update my post later with the upgraded deck. I've found running Vampire Nighthawks really helps in a discard concentrated deck.
The new deck I've constructed uses a few cards breaking the standard boundary though, such as The Rack, so I'm not sure if I should update my post or make a new thread elsewhere
And for lands, just use akoum refuge as it's been mentioned. Dragonskull summit is totally outside of my budget range, haha.
Generally I would say drop the Hideous Ends and go with terminate, but since you know your meta it's really up to you. Hideous End is more of a side board card imo.
If it were me I'd run 3 lacerators and one more bloodwitch, but that's just me. I used a zen vamps deck for a while and it did really well with three bloodwitches It's all up to you though.
Hey that's an awesome idea to activate the bloodchief with a lacerator, thanks!
It'll help with chump blockers as well. Maybe there's some form of beefy creature in rakdos that I could add for blocking? If you can suggest anything it'd be greatly appreciated. I'm willing to break standard as well so if you know of any good extended cards that's cool
The Dark Ritual add in is a very good idea actually.. seeing as I was trying to compromise the necessity of having BB for most of the black creatures with more swamps than mountains.
I'm gonna have swap those in for something, thanks!
Sorin is also a very good suggestion.. perhaps one Nalaar and one Markov in the deck?
Edit: I like the idea of adding in mephidross.. just maybe I'll switch over to pure black and use the red cards for something else.. thank you both for the info and suggestions
I've only recently started playing MTG since the beginning of December '09, so I could use a LOT of help with this deck. I'm not knowledgeable enough on cards to know what would make this deck better, so I ask if anyone can please help and give me their input. All criticism is welcome
I have many cards I've thought about adding in (mostly red spells)

I'm thinking about adding in Earthquake as well. I'll get back at you after I've play tested this deck

I guess since there are a lot of cards that combo in a mono black vamps deck that I might just switch to that entirely now
