Buried Alive is 3 mana, Demonic Tutor is 2 mana, and Bloodghast is 2 mana. If you cast Buried to dump a Bloodghast, it's still going to take another land play to get the same value as playing Bloodghast directly. I would cut Buried and just add another Bloodghast.
There aren't many repeatable sac outlets that draw cards, but Village Rites and Corrupted Conviction are solid, along with Deadly Dispute. I think these will help you more than long-term draw, but for the sake of completion Phyrexian Arena and Black Market Connections are the standard and top end, respectively.
Next thought is, you have a lot of potential finishers. The Exquisite Bond combo is the most generally useful, in my opinion, and you can get some redundancy with Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose. I would cut Mind Twist and two Exsanguinates for a couple Vitos and a couple more Thoughtseizes for more early advantage. Discard that you choose > random discard > discard that they choose.
Falkenrath Forebear can also work as Vampire-centric sacrifice fodder, especially alongside Voldaren Bloodcaster Flip if you go hard in this direction, but it's a little less reliable. Maybe just break away from vampires and use another recursive creature.
How much does Surgical Extraction help you? If you're against graveyard decks or combo decks regularly, keep it in main deck. Otherwise, it's sideboard material. As I write that, I realize there's no sideboard listed--do you use sideboards?
Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth is very good with Cabal Coffers, so keep those together. But how do you use the fetchlands? If it's only to find another basic Swamp, there's no reason not to just use more basic Swamps.

Falkenrath Forebear an upgraded Ichorid for the strategy.
Last Laugh too crazy? You might need to add Darksteel Plate.

HelloGrends27, I 100% agree! I have a Pioneer version of the deck that uses Nighthawk Scavenger and Vampire of the Dire Moon and they make the deck much better! I am curious to see what other Vampires we see in Standard with the next few sets!
For Standard, I have been trying out Falkenrath Forebear instead of Voldaren Bloodcaster Flip and seems to work better.
