I personally believe this is an awesome deck engine to build around. Let me explain.
Black can now drop a Mortician Beetle the turn before her. This ups the power of her deck quite a bit. Tukatongue Thallid can be (effectively) sac'd twice to her ability. Sprouting Thrinax can be sac'd four times. Creatures can be sac'd to her even if they have summoning sickness. Further, there are a number of new efficient token makers, like Nest Invader, Awakening Zone and such. There are also guys like Goblin Arsonist who have nifty effects on deaths.
Constructed worthy? I wouldn't know. But it's fun as heck. And it can easily goldfish by turn 4, even without a god-draw plan.
I shall dub thee JUND CARNAGE!

At the pre-release, I was using her with Pawn of Ulamog. Sac a creature to make her a 3/3, Ulamog gives you a spawn token, then sac the spawn token to make her a 5/5. Repeat until she's as big as you need her. I took down some big cards with this.
Given that I have always loved Phyrexian Ghoul/Nantuko Husk, I approve of this smaller version. Gotta love the artwork as well!

Why is this card only at 3 stars? It's basically a mini Nantuko Husk.
I'll tell you from first hand experince, this card is insane in Limited. I've won many a game with her there. She's even potentially Constructed worthy, and the art is awesome as an added bonus.
A very flavorful and strong card.

Sac outlet with Kalastria Highborn, for when your vamps just can't get through. If you have multiple Highborns, you might not even have to sac more than one creature - just sac her to herself.

This plus Perilous Myrs and Pawns of Ulamog is devastating; could sac the Myrs to clear out chump blockers, or if none are out, just apply the damage to your opponent. Can even use the combo to kill bigger creatures, too, by applying all damage to them if they block. Also, if you cast flesh allergy the same turn you pull off the above combo, there's significant damage. And it can all happen by turn 4 or 5, depending on land fetch.

Awesome artwork to boot.
(or either of his predecessors.)

She would also be fun with Kalastria Highborn in a vampire deck.
And I totally love the art.
Blade of the Bloodchief sends her over the top...
and Mortician Beetle likes to watch : P
I like this card. She is a cheaper sac device and is a vampire, which I happen to like. 4/5 for flavor, art, and usability in this set.
