playtesting with my brother was just like this:
dropped Stromkirk Noble on turn one, curse of stalked prey on turn two (turning Noble in a 3/3 at the fist attack)
cleaning this board from a plague and a necropede with a couple of wring flesh I went on swinging with noble and won at turn 6 attacking with a rakish heir and a 7/7 noble, even with -1/-1 from the dying necropede.
i'm playing this deck at the local FNM. rakish heir and curse of stalked prey make it even harder to handle.
although, I think a vampire will not be really competitive in early innistrad block, it's REALLY fun to play with.

This turn 1 and Curse of Stalked Prey turn 2 is pretty much game if they can't stop it. Was quite fun my last draft.

Whenever I drop this, I always make sure to say "Swag!"

The art is wrong...
He should be holding a sign that says "KILL ME! You'll regret it if you don't!"

James Ryman forgot one thing-- Vampires and Sunlight? Really?
Okay, so maybe it's something about Innistrad. I love this card. It's one of three cards I would run in any vampire deck in Standard (The other two being Stromkirk Captain and Tragic Slip.) Probably my favourite one-drop in game.

Innistrad block contains countless 1-drop humans, three 1-drop zombies, three 1-drop wolves/werewolves. And vampires? Just the one. C'mon now, Wizards, let's not play favorites.

I run 4 of these guys in my standard RDW. And every time that I attack with him, I make it a point to say, "Bluh!"
....I'm sure that my opponents think that it's just as funny as I do.

Assault strobe, Curse of Stalked Prey, Artful Dodge, Apostle's Blessing, Rakish Heir
With so many neat spells to help him get trough and get nasty quickly i always wondered why he didnt appear in standard more often.
T1: Him
T2: Curse of Stalked Prey. Opponent at 19, him 3/3.
T3: Assault Strobe, Artful Dodge. Opponent at 11, him 7/7. Mana open for Apostle protection.
T4: Assault Strobe, flashback the dodge. Opponent at -5 (aka, enough damage so that even some life gain wont matter).
This does require two Assault strobes, but even with just one he will be a serious threat early on.
Oh, and how come all the instants/sorceries starts with "a"?
