You fools! If this card was rare, less would be in circulation meaning HIGHER DAMN PRICES=DOUBLE THE CURRENT FIVE DOLLAR VALUE.

Extremely cost-effective even in a non-vampirethemed deck.

my explanation for why they gave this guy deathtouch is that green had way too many deathtouch creatures, while the ability has much more black flavor, so they forced deathtouch onto this guy to help even it out. but all they succeeded in doing was creating a creature with powercreep on steroids.

One of things that can kill Emrakul. Anyway, I just had to have this 4 times in my vampire deck (well, I've got 2 of these in DCI foil).

why the hell would they print this? It would be overpowered with just 2 of those abilities. I thought the power creep was going to stop when lowyn block left type 2.

Again, broken and should be mythic rare. Just can't believe this is uncommon.
Blue is the number one colour for flyers and you don't get a 2/3 flyer with 3 mana without a drawback, what say lifelink and deathtouch!
In my opinion, most powerful card in the entire set.

This is the best black creature in standard at 3 CMC, in terms of aggro.
However, fleshbag marauder is 2B, and a very powerful creature.
Hypnotic Specter is also 1BB, and can provide recurring card advantage, which is very powerful in its own right.
Each of these cards are uncommon. (or were at some point).
My point is that while nighthawk is on the edge of the bell curve, it isn't broken.

They are pushing the vampires a lot for sure, but I like my big beasties and they haven't gone any heavy beast schemes since naya, so thats where most of my faves are. All the new black creatures are tempting though. Will for sure hurt blue, who also has some low level fliers but don't usually come with this many extra abilities at that low of a cost. Winged coatl is the only potential contender, which is arguably better because you can sneak it in with flash.
Red black decks with soul's fire and this card will be amazing though, instant kill for 3 and gain 2 life.

so one day, i thought, you know what would be great for my monoblack life gain/drain deck? 4 VAMPHAWKS OF COURSE!! 8D next day...4 NIGHTHAWKS. just like that :DDDD
anyway, very good card. if i was on the opposing end of this card, i'd freak. but i'm not so i love it ^^ sure beats the hell outta kelinore bats at any rate.

I never thought I would see a black creature that was better than hypnotic specter... guess I was wrong.
