Yep expect vampire tribal decks to be popping up all over the place. This guy is the bread and butter for a freaking vamp deck. Aside from a few mana activated abilities that are red activated most vampire decks will be mono black. Great art. Great card. 5/5

Pray the top card of your opponents deck is a land so you can burn this guy to death. Die you fak, I hate/love this guy so much.
I love him in my deck, hate to see him on the other guys' side...
Broken ass vampire. Turn 2 land drop + Dark Ritual = scoop

no one mentioned this.... Sensei's Divining Top .... my friend run a vamp deck with 3-4 of each (this and the top) maybe once every 10 times or so the top will only yeild lands/artifacts and a small victory is had, other than that its pretty much GG.
@epitomeofevilness... they Stack, all your vamps (including BOTH Noctournus') get plus +4/+2 and flying, same thing if you have 3 or 4 or 10 out at once. having said that only the 1 card of deck will be reveled no matter how many you have.

This card does have some draw backs, but I run a monoblack and do not seem to have much problems with it. If you run into a nonblack card on top of your library then cards like Diabolic Tutor and Ad Nauseam can change that. I find it much easier to run a Vampire decck with 12 Vampires and a few other creatures to keep it rough for the opponent. Also, if you are tired of being hit with spells left and right then Nocturnus is a great enough creature to take the heat for you. :)

Staple for any Vamp deck. Gives all your vamps flying AND an Unholy Strength?! My goodness!! Since Zendikar came out, we saw a LOT of vamps popping out everywhere!! Even a Vamp Planeswalker!! If that's nothing to laugh about, then I assure you, you must be blind to see its potential!
NOTE: It's going for up to +$17 on trollandtoad. Just a random tidbit.

Lord of Lineage is going to give this guy a run for his money as the must have vampire lord. Especially since we're getting a lot of cards in Innistrad that encourage B/R vampire decks.

Works awesomely well in conjuction with Kalitas, Bloodchief of Ghet. Convert your opponents creatures into black vampire creatures, then watch them get the +2/+1 and flying buff (given that you're almost certainly running a monoblack deck). Very very nice. ^^
