Thats an interesting card, not sure if the 2/2 on turn one outrides the draw back.
It most certainly does. Carnophage saw tons of play back in Exodus. This is awesome. One drop vamp that's a 2/2. SIGN ME UP!. Three thumbs up. I'll get a third thumb somehow.

Pride is a powerful tool; it makes us fight harder when we are weak as does it cut us down while we are at our prime.

Recent discussions here and elsewhere have made it clear that there seems to be a group of players who consider blue and control synonymous, as if they somehow started playing a game with four identical and "bad" colors that do nothing interesting because they just "turn men sideways" and then true, glorious blue, the only thinking person's color.

I'm pretty sure all the lifelink vamps are getting will definitely outweigh the drawback...
and that's why I will be running b/g rock aggro in a month, this guy and putrid leech beating face with that vampire minibane averaging the life is too good to pass up

So good I want to cry right now. I've wanted to see a good Carnophage/Sarcomancy replacement for years and here it is. The life loss is so minimal compared to how cheap and aggressive this creature is. Whether you go Vampire tribe or not, cards like this, Bloodghast and Vampire Nocturnal are definately prime candidates for a modern Suicide Black deck. The fact that they are all Vampires does mean you can get crazy and run Nocturnus with good cause. Awesome, awesome card.
are you serious? a BETTER Carnophage/Sarcomancy? talk about the pendulum of power.. getting into a bit of hyperbole, but vamps are looking like the new Kithkin.
Take your monoblack deck, then set aside 14 swamps. Add 4 Creeping Tar Pits, 4 Darkslick Shores, 4 Drowned Catacombs, and 2 Jwar isle Refuge and add 4 Jace, the Mindsculptors. Your monoblack deck is instantly better. Better yet, drop those refuges, throw in some islands and some mana leaks, and lo and behold, you're now playing a real deck. Congratulations.

I might get back into Magic because of this set. It's looking to be amazing so far.
Nice. Where'd you find this?

Wow, that means Vampires is getting serious. Suicide black will be nice considering they have lifelink to balance life gain...
I'm a Spike Vorthos - I love lore and flavor, but only if the cards are competition worthy.
I'm glad though, Vampires need to come back...now if only we can get some classic Sengir Vampire action going on..
