I've mentioned this build a few times on the forums. Time to put it up on show.
Turn 1: Sunfire Amulet and Idol of Pestilence.
This makes an immediate +2 Life difference between me and the opponent. It means they have to come to me.
Turn 2: slip on a Cloak of Shadows
Turn 3 onwards: depending on the board situation, start blasting away at the enemy Mage with Drain Souls/Drain Lifes/Drain Power/Siphon Lifes OR start cursing his front-line creatures and keeping distance OR putting out a couple of creatures to mix it up with the enemy. A Plagued Malacoda works a treat as an in-zone henchman for the mage.
The basic point of this build is to get stronger as the enemy weakens. I do take hits (often a lot of them), but this just opens up the vampiric options.
The Sunfire Amulet and the Circle of Light are out of school, yes, but they serve exactly the function I want, and are worth the cost.
The Cloak makes the enemy get within range of the Drain spells, so a distance bombardment is less of an option.
Identified weak match ups are with the Priestess (obviously) and to a lesser extent the Priest and Paladin. But that is not exactly news for a Necromancer.
