This is possibly the biggest push toward non-BW aggro in DA I have seen. It's a Lightning Elemental, with evasion, and sustainability, which are key.
I don't understand WotC making us splash for Humans though. I mean, first Ravenous Demon, then this, and now Fiend of Shadows. WRB is not going to happen, Wizards, stop trying.

Commander Review: Not that great I fear. The human part will rarely matter. And with one toughness, she is very fragile, unless you have a steady stream of tokens. If you run a deck that is about sacrificing stuff she is about playable, but not awesome.
2.5/5

A nice card. Don't get me wrong. It's GOOD. But being great would at least have 2 or more toughness, because of cards like Gut Shot or Shock, and if you sacrifice, you lose more creatures. Idk just sayin but combos well with Curse of Stalked Prey. Every vampire does.

This card would be heck of a lot scarier if blade of the bloodchief was still in standard.
Been said already that the +1/+1 counter is just for flavor purposes and nothing more.
personally, I don't think this card is mythic material, but definitely running one or two in a deck. There are better options for 4 mana in R/B, just, not THEMED options.

4 haste damage in the air at the CC of lightning elemental.... This wins games...
And wow you guys, it never even occurred to me to run her with humans. You really need your hands held.

No good humans to sac in these colors? Has everyone forgotten Stormblood Berserker?

You could always feed her a Bitterheart Witch. You get the boost and a free curse :D

My main problem with Dark Ascension are cards like this: they emphasize humans, but there aren't very many in the set. Like Skirsdag Flayer, it is very powerful, but the set just loses a lot of flavor and draftability as compared to Innistrad due to not featuring a whole lot of humans. Still, hopefully this is good enough to push Vamps into constructed play, especially featuring Stromkirk Captain

I love how much she combos with Oliva Voldaren. You snatch a creature you don't like your opponent having and you abuse it's power for yourself. Then sacrifice it when it's no longer needed for an indestructible wrecking ball. Now that's synergy.
