The timing rules get in your way here. Mana empties from mana pools at the end of each step of combat; and blockers are declared right at the very start of the declare blockers step, before anyone can add mana to a pool. So the bottom ability can never trigger.
My object is to the "Randomly hosed by the opponent have a white deck" top bit. But yeah; that's a funny time to check an ability. "As though not blocked" type of templating works around it, I expect?
The top part was just top-down vampire design. The second ability's mechanics were meant to parallel the top ability, but don't actually serve a purpose beyond that.
Replaced the second ability with a red-activation. Removed the non-creature restriction since it now derives from red rather than black.
Maybe devotion can solve your problem? Devotion to white > 4 = dead, devotion to black > 4 = unblockable.
Nah, not a fan of devotion representing daylight.
