Seems like this has no real reason to be a vampire outside of vampires being the dominant tribe in Zendikar/RoE. Mechanically speaking, vampires have nothing to do with "mana flare" or shade effects.
You run a deck non basic lands that arent swamps you say? You really want to get the bonus from this kid without all the hassle? Well just play urborg tomb of yawgmoth and boom all those non basic lands tap for an extra swamp. Turn those karoo lands into three mana!!!! Yes three mana!!! Untap that karoo land with garruk and voila you get 6 mana for practcally nothing. Folks it does not get any easier than this. Plus if you buy this ill throw in a 15/15 eldrazi for free but you have to act now!!!!
See the two cards just released, gives me new insight and hope for the set. I guess the set isn't full of CRAP cards. So, I can't wait to see the whole set. Hopefully by the time of the pre-release I'll know whats good. Btw, hit me up for a playset of Sarkun the Mads

basically maintain or preserve board presence by playing the vampire tribe bloodghast, kalastria highborn, gatekeeper of malakir and friends, then make up for removals in highborn and pawn of ulamog.. power it all up with this shade then throw in the eldrazi gods.
Hmm, I'm now interested in making some NON-standard BG Vamp Ramp - with Urbrog of course. Time to get brewing. Nice card. Looks like vamps are the only parts of Zen-Wwk that survived.
My Volrath the Fallen EDH deck is immediately putting her in. She's Gauntlet of Power #2 and it doubles as another "answer me or LOSE!" threat. It's also amazing she's a creature at the same time to make her easier to recur and be disposed of to Volrath.
How do I make room for this beat stick in my vamps deck? It has to be in it! Seriously. Holy ☺☺☺☺.

Man that card is broken just for the sheer nudity alone.
But add Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, and this is a guaranteed 20/20 creature when swinging next turn, which means it wins the game. Did I just make it playable in the older formats? probly not.
^- this is a wrong statement. I'm leaving it here though for historical purposes.
I think this is a great mythic design. Powerful effects with a big body but not good enough to make it a super sought out card so its price is down for the people who actually want to get the card.
Definitely want one for EDH. Foil, if possible. Kthx.
Unplayable outside of EDH. I only wish it was Legendary so it could be the black card in the Ashling/Omnath cycle (legendary monocolored creatures for which 99X [basic land of this type] is a valid EDH deck)

She is GORGEOUS! Need a wallpaper for this card. Bad. Anyway, awesome design. Looking forward to cracking her. I wanna see what happens when she and Korlash are in the same deck.

7*2 + 4 = 18 last I checked. And it's not so guaranteed if you don't hit the 7th land or dealt with.
Hmm pretty nice, if MBC pops up I see it going in there; otherwise Vamps would rather just run malakir bloodwitch or Anonwon.

Nope, you'll print format defining, absolutely necessary cards at mythic instead.

not to mention there's pawn of ulamog in ROE.
this makes sense for a Monoblack Eldrazi deck.
