It depends on what you mean by "good". For fun everything is good, but it depends on the level of your opponents decks. If you want some help I could give you some advices to improve it ^^

some advice will be nice i dont know what i will be up against since im going to try it out on friday but what change would u make i was thinking about maybe adding a set of fetch land to work whit bloodghast

It is well tuned, and bound to be fast. Consider an answer to Planeswalkers.

Additionally, you may want to replace Bloodchief Ascension with Bloodsoaked Champion. Would be perfect pitch fuel for Viscera Seer.

Consider replacing Sickening Shoal with: Grasp of Darkness, Urge to Feed, or Sudden Death, ordered by priority. With all that black, the Gray Merchant of Asphodel sounds like a fair sideboard choice.

If you run fetch lands, put in a pair of Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth

Strong answer, more cohesive for the deck than Hero's Downfall, and also rather versatile.

I have helped my friend work on this deck for many years now. Mono Black Vampire Tribal definitely has built in Sacrifice mechanics. But not as much as the Deck Zombie bombardment or something similar. I have noticed this deck can be a little slow, and you don't have the draw acceleration to be running aether vial.  Bloodghast is great when you can combo him, but it will not happen as often as you like in the long run. So with that being said I do recommend keeping this deck as a Tribal Vampire (Mono Black Aggro). You have all the good vampires for the most part. Again I will recommend Blood Artist and now Smallpox. Having a way to cheat bloodghast into play by discarding him and using his landfall is hard in Mono Black modern. Even with smallpox you have to wait till turn 3 to get him into play. My Ideal turn 1, 2, and 3 plays would be: Turn 1- Swamp Duress Inquisition of kozilek or thoughtseize. Turn 2- Smallpox, ditch a bloodghast. Turn-3 hope you drew into 3 lands by now. Nowa days baltusrade spy is also a viable option for getting late game bloodghast's into your graveyard. Drunk Cynic had a great point instead of fetches, you can run evolving wild's with Urborg, Tomb Of Yawgmoth to stack landfalls for a combo late game. The Blade of the bloodchief i would cut to 2 becuase it is conditional or dependant. Mirri cut to 0 because this deck already has too many 3 drops. Gatekeeper, Captivating V, Nighthawk eat up enough your mana curve. If you like the free draw from gitaxian probe check out street wraith. This is a rough draft of what I personally would do with the mainboard.
