Vampire Hexmage + Dark Depths, then play Grim Discovery to bring them back.

I like to call her Vampire HAXmage. Few cards have abilities that at first sound so specific, but are actually so versatile. She doesn't even need to tap to activate her ability, so summoning sickness doesn't hold her back.
Crack open Dark Depths for a 20/20 indestructible flyer on turn 2 or less? Hell yeah!
Strip Mycoloth or any other +1/+1 counter-based creature naked? Hell yeah!
Kill a Modular on the spot without letting him buff others? Hell yeah!
Distrupt Myojins with divinity counters? Hell yeah!
Reset age counters on cumulative upkeep? Hell yeah!
Blow away quest counters from Ascension enchantments? Hell yeah!
Set back a Helix Pinnacle or a Darksteel Reactor? Hell yeah!
Slaughter planeswalkers for (B)(B)? Hell to the yeah!
Also, she's a 2/1 first strike, so she handles herself in combat fairly well for a turn 2 drop with an amazing ability.
Also, if that counts for ... (see all)

Love having this on the field when my opponent has Eternity Vessel out. Especially when they forget about her and activate its Landfall ability.

This is a crazy, flexible utility creature! Black is getting stronger and stronger. Nice how it's mana cost is 
to prevent it from being splashed in many decks.

Much happy fun-making to be made with basilisk collar in a vampire deck...

I've yet to kill a planeswalker with this, but I still run it. It comes out early and first strike helps keep it alive on offense or defense. Great card.

I'd like to know if the artist Eric Deschamps had a model for this art, because that is one good lookin' bloodsucker. Is that weird to say? Feels weird... and I'm evidently the first one here to say it... so yeah I guess it's weird. Color me weird then I suppose.

Actually, DominusNox, Touchdown is right. She can absolutely deal first strike damage (assuming she doesn't die to something else's first strike damage) and then sac before regular combat damage is dealt. there is an intermediate step.
