That is way too much fanservice for this corset to handle.

Good card, I just don't see any indication she is actually a vampire...

This and Bloodcrazed Neonate work really well together.

Turn two you play Bloodcrazed Neonate.
Turn three you play Crossway Vampire. Opponent's creature can't block your Neonate.
You now have two 3/2 vampires ready for turn four.

Another good turn three/four card is Rakish Heir. Neonate is now effectively a Falkenrath Marauders without flying.

Lots of potential to tap into here imo.

I don't think the artist was supposed to make me want to be that guy...

Development: We need to change this card, people find it distracting.
R&D: That's crazy, everyone loves corset vampire... er, I meant crossway
Development: That's exactly what I'm talking about.
R&D: You're overreacting, It did well in playtex... er, playtest.

I didn't know breast implants were in red. I guess... hedonism and reckless impulse?

Good card, I just wish that she was a little more splashable. Though a 3/2 Vamp for 2R with a turn of block-lock might be pushing it a little.

Surpringly good in limited. And there is good design and logic between different Red creatures in Innistrad. They seem to assist each other to reach full potential. Nice.

Dang, her clutches seem desirable. I guess the fates didn't guide him into her cleavage either.

Everybody's talking about her breasts squeezed into that corset, but nobody's talking about the iexplicable red neon light source. Where the hell is that coming from? They're outside! In the mountains! In daylight! Not the artist's fault, I'm sure. I can just picture the conversation between him and the management in Wizard's art department.
"This needs more red lighting."
"Uh... okay, but that doesn't make any sense in the context of the scene."
"Of course it does. How will people know it's a red card otherwise?"

are there literally NO comments on the game functionality of this card yet? :p

rofl. Obviously, it clearly prevents anyone from blocking by distracting them with massive tits.

I think this might be THE best 'can't block' red card- they stuck an almost-but-not-good-enough spell on a quite a nice creature for free. If it was just a 3/2 for 1RedRed it would still be limited viable.

A 3/2 for cmc3 in a relevant tribe....AND it's got ginormous boobs? Yeah. Sign me up. 3:)

(although, my conscience is crying a little bit inside for falling prey to the 'Fanservice Vampire' trick after looking down at all the girls led astray by Twilight..I try not to have double standards like that...)

anyway I rate the card 36DD :p

Yall never seen boobs before? Who cares...
As for the card, this has limited written all over it. As for constructed, heck no.

It's the red light that's distracting him, not the vampire. But goes really well in a vamp deck.

I think the original art showed these two as being indoors (like in a private booth) with a large window overlooking the spires of some city. The lighting went well with the original context. The design change was likely due to the name of the card. People don't tend to associate being indoors with being at a crossway. I would have argued against changing the art and instead changing the name of the card to "vampire courtesan" or "courtesan vampire". It would have fit the art and the flavor a lot better.

On a another note, this character is just about exactly what I imagined Viridiana Sovari looked like from the Night Angel Trilogy.

She gets a nice "bounce" effect from cloudshift. If you know what I mean...

Boob jokes aside, it works great with red's "slith" vampires.

With her and Rakish Heir, I'm pretty sure corsets fall into red's section of the color pie.

This is perfect for a vamp deck. Pair it with heirs of stromkirk or Erdwal Ripper and boom, you have an easy 1/1 counter.
Also, its a 3/2 for 3 mana. That is NOT bad....

She has some of the biggest boobs Ive ever seen. In this game anyway.
