I wonder why these bats were not given the vampire subtype. They clearly have the original vampire ability.

A card from when flavor accounted for so much more than it does nowadays...

Sigh, you'd think they would errata it to be a damn vampire, it has sengir in the name, the sengir vampire ability, it's a friggen' bat, and is noted as servants of Baron Sengir. FFS, make him a vampire!

@Smoked_Peasant It's a bat from the Sengir region, which drinks blood (as some normal bats do). If Vampire Bats isn't a vampire, I wouldn't expect this to be one either.

Badly overpriced, and yet had they been a 2/2, I think they might have seen some play as a cheap cousin to Hypnotic Specter. Both could come out on turn 1 with a Dark Ritual.
The same cmc. But here we have 2 abilities. Nighthawk have 3 and in better synergy. This is 1/2. Nighthawk is 2/3.
I have no more questions.

Where's the actual alternative art? I'm only seeing the red bat when I know for a fact that there is a blue bat as well (I own both versions of this card).
Did Wizards lose the print?

simply awful ability... unless your attach a viridian longbow to it! At that point however, you must question the "flavor" of such a play.... Bat w/longbow? How does this work?

@longwinded Sengir isn't a region. Baron Sengir is the ruler of the Dark Barony of Ulgrotha. He is a vampire lord, and all the Sengir things are named for him, usually because he created them or they're parts of his family.
