Looks fun for a 1-3 night at FNM! I wouldn't say it is the "best Combo" in Modern. There are plenty of decks that will have you dead when you have 2 lands in play, 2-3 lands in hand and possibly your combo cards. Other decks will make you discard key pieces or counter key pieces while landing deadly planeswalkers.
If you enjoy it, that's all that counts though. (I enjoy Elves, but I know it's far from the best Modern deck. It's probably closer to bottom 20.)

This looks pretty bad honestly, if you've posted this to get an opinion.
To make Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond (semi) viable in Modern you need to slow down and prolong the game meaning playing Control and cutting all those bad vampires (besides Gifted Aetherborn which is pretty efficient as a blocker).
Also wasting 8x slots on somehing you only need to draw later in the game is probably wrong so having 1x of each and some tutors would be much better.
D90Dennis14,
I don't think you understand. Epicure of Blood and Cliffhaven Vampire can act like Sanguine Bond in the combo, and Defiant Bloodlord works like Exquisite Blood. With this many options for both sides of the combo, you can skip the tutors and just have good chances of drawing the necessary cards. Also, this is not supposed to be super budget, but I would like to keep it under $100.

I meant that you can't run so many bad/overcosted cards in your deck and expect this to work.
You didn't mention anything about this being a budget deck and the title "best modern combo" is also very misleading in this regard.
This won't work as a pure combo deck so I wouldn't try to make it one, but as a win-con in a Control deck with enough card draw and tutors coupled with interaction it at least has a chance to work.
You also don't have nearly enough mana/lands to cast all your overcosted cards.
As a whole this deck is a mess imho and needs some major reworking to function.
4 Bloodbond Vampire
4 Cliffhaven Vampire
4 Drana's Emissary
4 Epicure of Blood
4 Gifted Aetherborn
4 Isolated Chapel
3 Plains
9 Swamp
4 Exquisite Blood
4 Sanguine Bond
2 Vampiric Link
4 Sovereign's Bite
2 Healing Grace

Without some way to interact and keep the opponent from killing you, this is too fragile to be particularly competitive.
