@Mystgate: She's a Dwarf because the flavor text (and maybe the background story) identify her as a Dwarf. For her, at least, WotC paid enough attention to ensure she had the right creature types. If only they could have done that for all the old creatures they gave new types to.

I dunno. I'd rate this a bit higher.
With vampires youre always paying more than its power to cast. This is also a legend, so why not have one in your vamp deck?
Why not make O-ring 5 to cast? Or Rancor now 3 to cast?
Enchantments are definately something green and white are heavily into, might as well dick them over. Off the top of my head I don't recall there being a black version of disenchant.

She was the daughter of the Dwarven king of Ulgothra, corrupted by Baron Sengir as a warning to them.She became hateful and sadistic, loving to torrment her victims. Her most hated enemy was Ihsan's Shade.

Ladies and gentleman, you are looking at the one - AND ONLY - black card in all of Magic that affects enchantments. Hope you enjoy it, monoblack players, because I sure don't.

My mate plays a green agro deck with as much enchantments as creatures. This would stop him in his tracks if I could get this out turn 2 with a dark ritual.

Tempted to make an EDH deck with her. Why? Well, what other "Dwarf Vampires" are there?

ugh... In the modern day if you actually wanted to stop your opponent from casting enchantment spells you should count on them having Serra's Sanctum or elves that create lots of mana. Which makes this pretty useless. Shame cuz it's otherwise maybe a useful card..

I always thought her facial expression matched that of a blow-up doll.

"brings shame to all her fellow Dwarves and misery to all the land"

Very narrow ability, and inefficient body for the cost.

Should have just said "Opponents cannot play white or green enchantment spells". And even then it would be 4/5 tops.

If the ability affected all green or white spells it would be godly.

Finally! The perfect counter for a Krond the Dawn-Clad EDH deck!

If you are on a tight 1$ budget that is.

I guess the general thought is that this card's ability would have been better, if it were White and Green SPELLS, not just enchantments, that would cost 2 more to cast.

To give Irini some credit though, she does offer some delay for opposing white and green decks, by making their Oblivion Ring and Detention Spheres cost more to cast. Tempered Steel and Ghostly Prison are also affected. As is Journey to Nowhere, Pacifism, Guard Duty, Rancor, and Asceticism. And also Mana Reflection and Mirari's wake. And let us not forget Sigil of the Empty Throne or Privileged Position. Or Blind Obedience, Angelic Destiny, Canopy Cover, Ethereal Armor, Gift of Orzhova, Edge of the Divinity....

... you know what? This card is actually starting to look pretty good, after considering all of the cards it can delay from being cast...
