Xineombine, that's exactly what I've been thinking.
I think Vraska was one of the Sisters. Her +1 is exceptionally similar to Sister's second ability. The reanimation would've been too similar to Liliana, so it's a good thign her ultimate wasn't a one-sided Living Death or something.
Then there's the obvious fact that Vraska is probably affiliated with Golgari, while Sister was the guild champion of Golgari in the former set...
Lastly, Semperpi, the ability for the Assassin's works only if it's combat damage. Rakdos Charm doesn't make the creature deal combat damage to its owner.
if it weren't, it'd actually make Razor Boomerang... well, useful!

whispersilk cloak, privileged position or asceticism.
Maybe even combo with mortipede.
Boom. Roasted.

Need to say that she doesn't have many cards to support building deck around her. But I have a strong feeling that she will have within these 2 years. If she has cards to support herself, she will be a very dangerous treat to all kinds.

Just so we're clear here?
Parallel Lives actually IS as good as a Doubling Season for breaking THIS Planeswalker? o.O
Wow.
Well, not quite, but I don't see any other tokens REMOTELY as good to Parallel than these....d.a.y.u.m.
I'm building a Parallel Lives deck, then X.X
Can't wait to see what Simic let's me do to/with these :) I just am sort of suspecting they will have an interesting interaction, somehow.
Golgari+Simic+Dimir, or Golgari+Orzhov+Selesnya.
That is what I'm predicting for Best Deck in Ravnica Block. :)
Sadfaced that nobody has yet done much Parallel Lives + Vraska in Standard. :P But Doubling Season really does osmething more than Parallel Lives, something very relevant. :P
If Doubling Season is a Mythic Rare in Dragon's Maze, people will DEFINITELY build the Vraska Deck though.

The look on my face when he overloads his Mizzium mortars at these assassins, only to have me use Tower Defense, then swing for game with Rogue's Passage makes this worth it

Looking at her, she's the anti Sorin, Lord of Innistrad. In fact, considering I have both and run a black/white orzhov deck with Sorin, seeing Vraska on the other side of the field (which I have) creates a major pain in the ass. She's good against populate/Selesnya decks in standard, but unless your opponent has Rogue's Passage to go with her ultimate (or some equivalent), Vraska isn't much of a threat.

In my current deck, I have a strong use for these tokens. I'm using Tanglewalker and Myr Landscaper, so this gives me something really fun to give unblockable to.

Played against this card and Primal Hunter in my second round against a guy in Standard. They got Hunter out first, used his effect afew turns, with Growing Ranks out, while protecting his Hunter with two fogs. They than got out Vraska and thought to myself, that could cause a problem if unchecked. I threw a couple of creatures at it to only being chump blocked by his beast's. After failure, I went back to my decks first strategy and go Exalted. I slowly built up my forces to wait for Vraska to die off. The turn before they used Vraska's ult, they brought out a Kitesail and an Elixir of Immortality. My immediate thought was shit. Their turn came, they used the Vraska's ult, gave a kitesail to an assassin, used Elixir to get it back into the deck, than used Hunter ult and populated one of the Wurms (8 wurms in total). They attacked with their assassin on Kitesail only. Vraska in my opinion sucks when she is alone, so I'll put her at 3/5, but if you are able to combo her with another wal... (see all)
