You complain about the art now, but you'll REALLY be complaining when his captivating good looks seduce your baneslayer angel to the dark side!

Man, vampires used to be so awesome, I loved (and feared) vampires as a child, and when I started MTG and saw they had vampire cards I instantly knew I wanted a vampire deck. Twilight has ruined the thing I cherished most and now I have to nurse my pride every time someone as^sociates my vampires with that sparkling gayness ;-;

Ironic. When a couple look at new house the man cares about the practicalities and the woman concerns herself about how the wallpaper looks. Just seems to me like he has good abilities but someone ranted about the art early on and everyone's been jumping on the band wagon ever since.

This is probably the ghayest vampire art yet. Seriously
An emo vampire will captivate all pre-teen twilight fangirls I guess.
Please change the art for this in the next set. Post haste

There is only one captivating vampire, and her name is Drana, she could seduce anyone to the dark side.
This one...
The art is obviously horrible (I think even girls would find this guy creepy), and his ability will rarely be usable in competitive play, and he cannot replace nocturnus (well duh, noc is a 15$ mythic, this is a 2$ rare), but 3 CMC for a 2/2 that gives all your other vamps +1/+1 is nice indeed, and this is what matters, the other factors are just not important. I'd still like to hear what went through the artist's head when he drew this though.

Why is this card rated anything less than 4/5?
Oh, yeah, because everyone decided that they hated it once they looked at the art and neglected to actually read the text.
Why is this worse than Nocturnus?
-Really bad art
-Less of a buff
-No flying buff
-Less Power/Toughness
Why is this better than Nocturnus?
-It doesn't cost $15 a pop
-Cheaper cmc
-It doesn't NEED to be in a vamp deck
-It doesn't NEED to be in a mono-black deck (not that you would run vamps in anything other than)
-The +1 buff is ALWAYS on even in a mono-black (Swamps?)
You will almost never get his second ability to fire, but that shouldn't actually detract from the card. Would I run four of these before Nocturnus? Of course not. Would that stop me from running four of this if I didn't have Nocturnus? Also, of course not.

When he moved to Hollywood he had to go door to door to tell everyone he was a pederast.

This card is probably a little good as a lord. Id expect him to require six or seven a la lullmage mentor.

I think all of you even involving Twilight with Magic: the Gathering should burn.
I'll admit, not the greatest second ability, still very good.
There is nothing wrong with Vampires, Eldrazi are usually worse.

This plus a kalitas, bloodchief of ghet FTW!!! Don't wine about the art, just shut up, Shut up. THis is a damn good card if your smart enough to use it. Look at what it does not what it looks like.
