My friend asked me why they made a small Vampire Aristocrat. The answer was simple: vampire decks have something better on turn 3.

When four Vampire Aristocrats are not enough.
Awesome artwork to boot.

I personally believe this is an awesome deck engine to build around. Let me explain.
Black can now drop a Mortician Beetle the turn before her. This ups the power of her deck quite a bit.
Tukatongue Thallid can be (effectively) sac'd twice to her ability. Sprouting Thrinax can be sac'd four times. Creatures can be sac'd to her even if they have summoning sickness.
Further, there are a number of new efficient token makers, like Nest Invader, Awakening Zone and such. There are also guys like Goblin Arsonist who have nifty effects on deaths.
Constructed worthy? I wouldn't know. But it's fun as heck. And it can easily goldfish by turn 4, even without a god-draw plan.
I shall dub thee JUND CARNAGE!

It does seem to be constructed-worthy. Jund obviously loves this card (hello there, Thrinax). A really, really strong common. 4,5/5

Sac outlet with Kalastria Highborn, for when your vamps just can't get through. If you have multiple Highborns, you might not even have to sac more than one creature - just sac her to herself.

At the pre-release, I was using her with Pawn of Ulamog. Sac a creature to make her a 3/3, Ulamog gives you a spawn token, then sac the spawn token to make her a 5/5. Repeat until she's as big as you need her. I took down some big cards with this.
She would also be fun with Kalastria Highborn in a vampire deck.
And I totally love the art.

@Shell_Shockkun . . . Nicely said man haha made me laugh
I like this card. She is a cheaper sac device and is a vampire, which I happen to like. 4/5 for flavor, art, and usability in this set.

Given that I have always loved Phyrexian Ghoul/Nantuko Husk, I approve of this smaller version. Gotta love the artwork as well!

Why is this card only at 3 stars? It's basically a mini Nantuko Husk.
I'll tell you from first hand experince, this card is insane in Limited. I've won many a game with her there. She's even potentially Constructed worthy, and the art is awesome as an added bonus.
A very flavorful and strong card.
