My favorite card from the set. Vampires are my favorite tribe. Red is my favorite color. When I saw vamps in red I nearly peed myself and now that I have Olivia and this guy, I'm a happy camper. Giving Vamps first strike is gonna be out of control. At uncommon you don't have to spend lots of money to get him either. Think of all the lifelinkers and vamps who are big on attacks have small toughness. Markov Patrician is almost playable next to this guy. I might do it anyway just because it's sick.
Captain Kirk I love you!!! Smash that Sorin to dust the Humans must die!!!

I'm now out of excuses to keep my Vampire deck mono-black. This is fantastic. I will take four, please.

Vampires fighting ghouls? Innistrad is a really strange place
Finally a good lord for a tribe that has seen many of its kind printed recently

@Templar314
I totally agree. Although in my case its more like making room in my Innistrad tribal decks...

uhmm....you forgot vampires feed on humans. They're just protecting their livestock. Don't make vampires into sparkling cuddly lovey dovey Twilight crap.

5 Stars from me. He's incredibly useful to any vampire deck in either colour or both, and probably the second-best captain ability after spirits. All those fragile vamps are suddenly a lot harder to out-fight.

I love the card. But also love the flavor. Love to see unity formed between sworn enemies for a cause that threatens both of their existences. There is always hope! Even when and where you least expect it and sometimes through the experience, enough mutual respect is born that brotherhood is formed. I believe we as humans presently at war with ourselves will see this scenario come to pass before our time here on earth is up..

Well, he's really good but... The werewolves get to remove their drawback, the zombies get a jhonny-rific captain, spirits get a second-tier keyword (things like infect, double strike, indestructible, things you should pay more mana for than vigilance, first strike and trample), and vampires get... first strike. I mean, the spirit one I would also complain about if it wasn't so good, and it still takes blame for not being as interesting as the werewolf and zombie captain, but this is just so un-creative, I feel like they could have come up with something more clever... I kind of wonder if when they got this cycle going, they thought "aw hell... we already made Rakish Heir!! We'll just have to do.... first strike."
Because this should've had Rakish heirs ability, at least more than first strike.

No. Whatever you just said, it is false. Talons of Falkenrath is the true meaning of this card.

Great synergy splashed in Mono Red hasty vamps or Mono Black sacrifical control vamps or in RB Proliferate. This cycle is so well made.
