Oh, where oh where can my baby be? / The Lord took her away from me / She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good / So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

Douse in Gloom functional reprint. I guess this is for the vampire theme?

@veldalken_Arbiter: Which was, in and of itself, a functional reprint of Vicious Hunger.
BUt yeah, I think it's safe to say it's a vamp theme.
Vicious Hunger is not better, its different. This is more splashable and instant speed, whereas Hunger can't affect combat at all, is less splashable, but is cheaper overall.

I expected a scene from Twilight in the artwork, disappointed. 0/5.

The artwork is disapointing, given the flavour suggested by the title. For shame. I guess its a nice enough card though.

With the release of M12, Sorin's Thirst does exactly the same thing for one less mana.

@blindthrall - Actually I would pick this over Vicious Hunger because this is Instant speed, but really lets just cut into this card. The reason this wasn't used in vamp decks is because between Disfigure and splashing red for Lightning Bolt and Pyroclasm vamps didn't need this as removal.
Disfigure alone already does what this did, at a cmc of 1. Don't gain life? Who cares, that adds nothing to how the field is affected so extra mana for that is pretty much useless.

I like the flavor text. It's actually interesting instead of cheesy, like so many other cards'.

I guess technically the extra 1 CMC is worth it being in instant, but how many of these have you run?
Still a better love story then Twilight.
