Yeah, a 4/2 for three is good. But you need to run a ton of creature removal to prevent your opp from simply trading a bear. Fine card for many limited decks.

btw- what is with these class-less vampires and zombies? Is black just bad at classes?

If I was going to play this guy, I would have to pretend like Vampire Nighthawk never existed.

I like 'em. Spices up most vampire decks, but definitly not a substitue for vampire nighthawk. A little more risky- but super fun!

There are so many better black vamps for 2Black. Waste of the cardboard it's printed on.

Not great, but a 4/2 for 2B (which it can be in a deck that runs lots of vampires to hit hard early) is not exactly terrible. Compare to Mindless Null and ponder what happened...

Anything that already has blood thirst seems to make the most sense atm. At least it's not the blood seeker.

This is A decent Bloodthirster however if it is in conjunction with Bloodlord of Vaasgoth making it 7/5!!!!!....would be nicer with a bit better health though but thats M12 for ya.

A three-mana vanilla 4/2 is playable in Limited; a three-mana vanilla 3/1 which can also be a vanilla 4/2 is MAYBE playable in Limited...

Well, compare it to Servant of Nefarox:

Servant of Nefarox:
Pros:
- Helps tougher creatures when attacking
- If attacking, can become stronger (with other Exalted cards)

Cons:
- Only gets bonus when attacking
- Forces you to attack with only one creature per turn
- If it doesn't attack, it isn't a great blocker
- If it doesn't attack alone, it's susceptible to chumps

Bloodrage Vampire:

Pros:
- If it becomes a 4/2, it's permanent
- Is a Black Vampire, a better tribal than a Black Human Cleric
- Doesn't need to attack alone to get the bonus

Cons:
- The bonus is situational: You need to have an extra spell or attacker beforehand to get the bonus
- If not Bloodthirst-ed, always remains a 3/1

On this note, I'd declare Bloodrage Vampire a better 2Black cost, limited core set creature that initially starts as a 3/1.
