The Prerelease card has so much better art. Raymond Swanland's pictures all look the same ... boring. As for the Nocturnus, he's powerful, but not very reliable. There are too few vampires to build a solid deck around, and even if you do you'll end up with a Swamp on top of your library a lot of times. I'm thinking of using Painter's Servant though...

S'okay, I pulled one from a booster in the Pre-release. :D
Not all that good though. Vampires aren't exactly a power-tribe, and it only works in monoblack. One thing for sure, it's USELESS in Sealed.

This guy would be pretty useful if he weren't totally unsplashable and if all my vampires didn't already fly. I hate this useless piece of trash. Its outdated and I have no idea why its getting a reprint. I am however very excited about Nighthawks reprint.

I run 4 in a Vamps build, but he's mostly a Swerve for any Lightning or an expensive Rampant Growth.

Hes overpowered, and I can understand why he is not coming back.
Maybe later he can return as a legendary 2BBB and with equally awesome art (hopefully).
But at the same time, hes not in every other tourny deck like BS-layer Angel and Lightning bLOLt....but those 2 stayed in M11.
And yes, the new M11 vampire lord makes me cry at night.

I personally don't understand this card. He seems really good, but I guess I just don't know how to play him. I got one in a m10 booster and thought he was cool so I tried playing with him, but he never seemed to help much. Besides the fact that I only had one, he was hard to find, was always being killed by other cards and my poor little vampires would always get trampled over. Also he used to run risky for me. Since he always revealed the top card of my deck, my friends would always smile because they would have an answer to the revealed card by the next turn.
Now my poor little Vampire Nocturnus just sits in my fancy card binder looking all bad ass with no calling for him to be played in any of my decks. He's actually gotten me killed very often when I have tried playing him.
